Verdier Graham and Shelter???

Dear Tenmus: The Dave advise about the Moerch tonearm is a very good one and the DP 6 can match easy with the Shelther cartridges.
Btw, if you are thinking on the Verdier ( great TT ) I think that you could give a further step in your analog quality sound reproduction changing your 901 for a 90X .

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Doug: As you know there are several cartridge options. I mentioned the 90X because I think that he likes the Shelther sound: that's all.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Tenmus: In my opinion the DP-6 is an excellent tonearm: very good design and very well build. It compete with the best out there: Triplanar, Brinckman, Shroeder, simon yorke, etc, etc.

As a fact this tonearm has a " low profile " because is " inexpensive ". If this tonearm had a 4K price then everybody want it.

This is the best performance-price ratio in the tonearm industry: it is a " great bargain ".

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Bigbucks: I totally agree with you . The Ikeda tonearms out perform almost any of the best tonearms out there for a fraction of price, but as I understand André already buy the Triplanar.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Michael: Yes, as a fact the arm wand is the same and the design is very similar, where there are differences is on the headshell of the Ikeda that is better than the FR and in the internal wiring that too is better on the Ikeda. The performance is almost similar if the FR bearing is in very good condition.

One advantage with the Ikeda tonearms is that is a current model with warranty. I like it.

Regards and enjoy the music.
