Good move Chris. I went for the 'SpinClean' which is pretty much the same thing. What the SpinClean lacks however is a drying rack, so I ended up buying an Okki Nokki drying rack separately. So now what I do is count the number of spaces in the Okki Nokki drying rack, put that number of LPs aside, set up a table and chair in front of my Hi-Fi, put on some sounds and do my chores!

Hi you all
Just a quick feedback after the London Decca Super Gold is run in:
This is the best sound Iīve ever heard. In the beginning it was close to the 2M Black, but now the London is so much better in every way. And the dynamics I just bought a brand new Gd Audio DAC with the Sabre DAC referense chip (DSD/DXD). I played Leonard Cohen "The Waltz" through the DAC from my Mac and the sound was superb! Then I played the same song on the original vinyl LP with the Super Gold and it simply blew the digital version away With the London Decca the voice was much more alive and extended. It was really like Cohen was standing right in front of me. The sound is so fast and tight, but also refined when needed to...
Also I think the combo with the modified 1210M5G and the London Decca Super Gold is a great match. Will I ever have a different cartridge again? I donīt know. The only other cartridge I would like to have is an Ortofon SPU, but I will always have a Decca.

Try a ZYX. You'll be saying the same things.
I know, I used to use Deccas.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
What ZYX would yoy compare to London Decca Super Gold?

R100 H2
It has a similar speed and impact. The transparency and depth are up there with the best.

This review seems to say something else:

That's a comparison with an R100 H, not an H2.
They are very different.

Ok, I did not know that. I have never heard Zyx but will check them out. If they are compareable to Decca, why should I go for Zyx. What is the advantage?
