    LMFAO, Jamie, There is an Ortofon Kontrapunkt b on the Treasure trove section of their website. I have one here and at around £800 i think its a cracking cartridge. Great all round sound but it doesn't do what the Decca does. Its an all encompassing sound and very balanced. Quite smooth and definitely musical.

    If you want to do a Decca Gold trial on your zeta, Let me know. Its about 6g in weight and i would imagine, sound very similar.

    Lol, I'm all good mate, I'm trialling the Ortofon Kontrapunkt and will probably be trialling the Ortofon Vienna in the new year so this Decca is genuinly surplus. If it sells while you have it, it can just just go directly from yourself. If that's ok?

    I have an Allnic Verito in very good condition that I could be tempted to part with, excellent cartridge and worked well on my Zeta arm.

    I know someone who has two Zeta arms and runs a Koetsu Black in each.
