catridge match with Morch DP-6


I'm thinking of upgrading my rewired rb300 to a Morch DP-6, and wondering what cartridge would be a good match. First of all is Morch arm a really good one to go for? And then the catridges currently on the shorlist are: 1. ZYX R-100, 2. Ortofon Kontrapunkt B, 3. shelter 501 mk II. The turntable I'm using is J.A. Mitchell Orbe. Could anybody give me some advices please?

The Morch DP-6 is Dual bearing tonearm is way better than the Rega 300B. All the cartridges you mention should work fine with it provided you match the proper Morch arm tube to their weight. There are 4 arm tubes to choose from Light 3.8g, Medium 5.7g, Heavy 7.4g Extra Heavy 13.1g.
As far as the counter weights going out of adjustment they are held by orings which must of been worn out on the Morch arm mentioned. I have had mine for 7 years on a Sota Sapphire with no such problem. I am using a low output Benz Scheu catridge.
