tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar

I decided to take a much bigger analog plunge

I'm working with Mehran on a tonearm for a Zyx Universe
between the Moerch DP6 and Triplanar VII. Mehran is really great - a true audiophile gentleman.

the precise dial in setup of the triplanar interested me (particularly because I am a relative neophyte at this) but it's a bit more expense.

I currently have a Nottingham Spacedeck which I'll eventually upgrade from but the Moerch drops directly into the Spacedeck mount and others here tell me the Notts match well with the Moerch.

Can anyone commment on the synergy of these two with the Universe? later flexibility with other tables? any other helpful jewels of knowledge would be greatly appreciated (I don't want to limit myself like with the Spacedeck).

My listening preferences lean more toward correct tonal balance and engaging dynamics over ultra hi resolution. I listen to a lot of jazz, acoustic and rock music.

thanks

Dear Audiotomb: The Moerch tonearms are very good ones and compete ( from my humble opinion ) with any of the other named here, it has the additional advantage that you can choose between differents effective mass arm wands to match with different cartridges, from this point of view the Moerch could be a very good match to the Universe and if you are looking for the Amazon TT that ( like Flyingred posted ) was voiced along the Moerch: this is the way to go.

If you choose for the Galibier TT then you could choose for a different tonearm like the Triplanar that everyone " say " is a great match for the Universe ( I heard this combination and is a very good one ).

Anyway, you are starting to " play " in the audio " big league " ( very good for you: congratulations ! ) and looking to your audio system your phonolinepreamp is not up to the task with those great performers: TT/TA/Universe, I think that you have to care on this critical analog audio link.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
