Schroeder model 2 or Morch DP6?


Has anyone out there listened to both of these tonearms? Or even better, have you listened to them in the same system? Dougdeacon, if you are out there, I am betting you have heard them both in your "shootout". I am interested in the sonic differences in the 2 arms. I know the Schroeder 2 sells for about $2200-$2300 new, but how much does the DP6 sell for new?

OK....I am quite interested in the Schroder 2 tonearm. I am also interested in the Tri-Planer arm. I have a VPI 10.5 on an Aries and thought that an upgrade to the arm would make a big difference. I live in NYC BUT I can't seem to find ANY dealers in this area that sells the Schroder....Tri-Planer or ever the Morch!!!! Are all these arms purchased from the manufactures unheard??? Can't be....or can it? Anyone in the NYC area have a model 2 Schroder so I can discuss the merits with you?
Dave and Doug, thank you so much for your quick response! I will certinly check out the Morch. Doug, you said you heard the Schroder Reference and purchased the Planar. What was is you didn't like about the Schroder?
Also, what feature's do you like on the Planer. Does it allow for on the fly VTA as does the VPI?
Interesting comment you made Dave about the VPI 10. I have a VPI 10.5 and though I would hear a big difference with a Schroder/TriPlanar/Morch, but your comments made it seem that there were differences between the arms but not a major difference. Very interesting!!!

I was also hoping someone in the NYC/NJ area that purchased either of the arms above saw this thread and invited me to a listen. If would be really great if I was able to locate 2-3 'goner's in the area with these arms and set up a NYC shoot-out. Seems like all the shoot-out's with these great arms are in Minnisota or Ohio or ?????
Doug, thank you for your kind invite! When the time come I will e-mail you!!!! :))
