Decca C4E FFSS cartridge at £535. Some serious prices being asked these days for vintage Decca carts. They do sound great though.

Not exactly 'mint' is it, either? The front face is all scuffed... If I was paying that price for one, I'd be wanting it in genuine NOS condition (inside and out)!

Very nice Lockwood Majors with built-in Bryston amplifiers here...

Yummy.
And just down the road from me. I am very tempted, must admit.
G'wan G'wan G'wan Martin, you know you want to!
You could pull and sell the Brystons to offset some of the cost..
I thought you were steadfastly avoiding Tannoys Martin? ;)Quote:

Marco reckoned Tannoys will boom if placed in free space - as I would have to in my room - however I can't find anything on line to back up this hypothesis so they are back on the cards again.Quote:
