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.

When you say Helix Two, do you mean a Dohmann Helix Two?

I'm pretty sure that Mark D will tell you that the Schroeder CB-1 is the best value for his turntable and that is why he supplies them as the standard choice for the Helix 2. The Schroeder LT is a another, much more, costly alternative that brings more to the presentation. Last time I corresponded with Mark D he was also looking into trying the Reed 3P as an alternative. 
My advice would be to email Mark directly and get his opinion on the Moerch arm. He is very responsive to inquiries and is a great person to bounce ideas off - he will give you his unfiltered opinions. Congrats on the turntable-it is an end game deck for sure!
