Graham Phantom or Morch DP6 ?

Does anyone have first hand experience with these two tonearms or know anyone who has heard them both ? For about the same price in the used market I can buy either a Graham B44 Phantom1 or a Morch DP6. Both are unipivots. I want to use it with my Verdier. I know that Graham tonearms come with a very easy setup procedures but I am more concerned with the sonics. The cartridge used will vary between a ZYX, 47 Labs or Grado. Will anyone be able to tell the difference between the sonic presentation of these two tonearms ?

Well, the DP6 is not quite a unipivot. I was researching both Graham and Moerch arms when I was upgrading my tonearm, and went with the Moerch because it seems that the Moerch arms do bass better than the Grahams, which seem to have a reputation for having lighter bass.

But these are my impressions just based on internet research, not a direct comparison.

If you are thinking about buying the Moerch DP-6 new, why not contact Mehran at Sorasound? I believe he carries both Graham and Moerch. I didn't recommend this earlier since it isn't fair for dealers and importers to spend their valuable time with someone who wants to buy used and will spend their money elsewhere.

Wrm57, I'd be interested in hearing how the Graham Phantom II compares to the Triplanar arm.
