    Default Well, where do we go from here ?

    I hope this is in the correct forum. (if not apologies) but is Analogue.

    Been running my rig on a Benz Wood for some time.

    I recently acquired a beat up Decca Gold from eBay, anyway, sent off the to John Wright (London Decca for a refurb).

    Well, what can I say when it returned.

    Never heard the like.... it trashed my £1200 Benz. Dynamics like I have never thought possible.

    I don't t know if others out there have had the same experience..... let me know???

    Yes - Deccas are rather special! I always have one set up on one of my turntables.

    Glad you are enjoying yours.

    Well there you go Peter. The Decca experience! Comes as a shock to many.

    Nice reel to reel!

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
