Verdier Graham and Shelter???

Hi Tenmus,

One of the advantages of the Verdier, I have found, is that it works well with just about every tonearm with which you might want to pair it. For example, I have had success with the VPI JMW-12, SPJ La Luce, and Graham 1.5t. [FYI - I am currently running the SPJ and VPI arms, with the Crown Jewel SE (basically a Shelter 501 Mk II) and will be installing a Zyx Airy 3s-XB]. Thus, I would place more emphasis on matching your Shelter with an appropriate arm.

I do not think you could go wrong with the Graham 2.2, but would recommend you check out the VPI 12.5 Signature - the VPI is the least colored arm I have used with the Verdier. I have also heard that the Verdier/Schroeder Reference is a stunning combination, but I have no personal experience with it.

don't forget to consider a straight line tracker? air tanget, clearaudio, etc.

Hi

I thank you all for your advices,at least the Verdier seems to be a good choice.Concerning the arm,thanks to you ,it will be more easier now for me.

Have all Happy Hollidays

Tennus, I have a Shelter 90X on a Graham 2.2, and it has knocked the socks off several audio curmudgeons. But then if you have the money, Bob Graham has the new Phantom arm...

Hi everybody

I have searched some infos on the different tonearms you advised me last week, it seems there is an important difference of price between the Morch DP6 12" and the others ( tri planar,shroederer or graham).

The Morch for me in Europa is much less expensive than the others(2000 dollars),the tri planar is 6700 dollars the shroeder Dps is 4000 dollars for example

So does the difference of price worth it between a Moerch DP6 and aTri planar or a shroeder Dps ?
