Something wrong there. The Mk.IV Deccas should have a somewhat more full bodied sound than the Londons, including the Golds. I'm wondering if the coils were set up correctly.

What setting is your phonostage on? It's either the wrong setting or you are out of phase. I had the four pin connector on the Gold and it sounded just like you say. I swapped to the three pin and only connected the red white and green. That fixed it. Never got the bass I wanted though hence me moving it on.

My mate didn't get around to trying it. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it Jamie, it's only been in the box in my pocket and at my mates and he hasn't even looked at it.

Jamie, did you use the terminal with the green sleeve on. I used it as ground for the left channel.

Yeah. It's worth experimenting with neg connections and checking phase.
