Comments on Moerch DP-8

I'm interested in comments from anyone who has experience with this tonearm. I'm especially curious how it compares to the Phantom II and Tri-planar VII.

I've long been intrigued by Moerch arms but I've been put off by the lack of fine VTA adjustment. The DP-8 appears to offer this feature. I wonder how well it works in practice.

The 10 Audio review was strongly positive. A few more points of view would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I can not compare with the above tonearms but this tonearm is much easer to set up and enjoy than the moerch up4 that I used prior to this tonearm.

Dsremer,

Thanks for the response. How would you compare it to the UP4 sonically? What cartridge(s) are you using?

I am using a ZYX Universe much much better base, fuller soundstage, more sparkle, as time goes by this combo is starting to realy shine

Yes, please talk about the UP4 vs DP8. I have a UP4 and am considering the upgrade but I bought a DP6 and it wasn't better... actually a downgrade in my system. I went back to the UP4 and have been happy for a couple years but the DP8 has my antenna out again.
