I just wish the Zyx Fuji that had me sell off my AT 33PTGII and my Zyx 100 hadn't turned out to be faulty
Mike if you want the Z-100 back then I am willing to wait for something to come up.

Closest I've found with the dynamics and speed is the Rega Apheta and Rega Ania. Fast, clean, snappy and fun.
I've never had a listen to a Decca but it sounds to me like it must be quite along ways from neutral. Rather than it digging out the good with the bad is it not more likely that it is coloured? The further any system or component gets from accurate, the more it is going to dictate your music choice. I'm reminded of the DPA Renaissance cd player, of which a reviewer said: 'If this is right, it means that everything else is wrong.'
