I've noticed the prices climbing steadily for these. Got a couple myself, Another wise investment!
Is that the Decca cartridge that swears all the time ?

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

All Decca carts are over-priced IMO.Some serious money being asked for this Decca Mk.III catridge.

Seems so these days. But there again, what else can you buy that sounds like that? Nothing.

True - which is why the Decca is the one fixed-coil cartridge I always have available for use in my system, as an alternative to the various MC I use.

What about ADC's though? I couldn't go without a decent one of those about. They have a bit of magic!

Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)
I love my Decca SC4E which I think is a bargain if one can find a good one.

Only had one Mk.IV. A 4RC, which was superb! Superior to the various MK.V Londons I've owned, although the Export Grey was very good.

Hmm that could be useful ...

I should have said "permanently available". My ADCs are high compliance and need to be used in (very) low mass arms, so are only listened to occasionally.
My Deccas are less fussy about the arms used (though they are fussy about setup!)
