Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable

Hello everyone. I am exploring putting a Morch DP-8 tonearm on a Helix Two turntable. I would like opinions from people who own the DP-8 specifically on how easy is to calibrate, how is its tracking and how accurate are the low frequencies. What is your accompanied cartridge(s)? I assume your system is capable of reproducing accurately instruments below 50Hz. Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond.

Nice! I too have Garrard 401 but with a Schick tonearm. Thank you for the info on the DP-8.

I've heard the Schick on a Garrard, I think if you put the DP6 or DP8 on instead of the Schick you would get a great improvement - more finesse, more transparent.

I've been using a Moerch DP6 9" red tube with a Allaerts MC1B on a Scheu Eurolab for years. This combination works very well. I have Lyra Kleos in the box waiting for the MC1B to die but its still going strong. Its supposed to last 10k hours.

@dover at some point I may try the Morch on the Garrard, I would have to get a 12” wand to fit my plinth. I’ve already made arrangements to trade in the DP-6 for a DP-8 so I’m really looking forward to it.

This video may be helpful in setting up the Morch DP-8.
