    Yeah no worries, might be an idea to return it if you can, like I say my Decca Gold seems to sound pretty good no matter what I do to it doesn't seem fussy at all, ok so its now sounding better than ever but even before that it was pretty good, now it is superb, I know that sounds strange/not right but I'm sure you know what I mean.

    ok so the 2m blacks back on and basically if you could have the hf from the black and the low/mid from the decca you'd have one hell of a cartridge! i need to seriously think what to do next.
    in the meantime here's a snap of the decca.

    Needs a service, it shouldn't have all that dirt on it. The tip looks slightly skewed too.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Three choices really. Sell it 'as is'. Send it back as faulty. Or get John Wright to sort it.

    If it was me, even with the outlay already, I'd get it retipped and fettled. Just my opinion.

    its been sent back today as i spoke to jw and it would cost another £300 to sort it out.it also started to drop the left channel.
    i thought long and hard about which way to go with it and to be honest i got sick of the indecision so this morning i tried to call hifi hangar and got no answer after several calls.
    so i made my mind up and off it went back to them.

    thank you for all the advice by phone,post and pm it was much appreciated.

    my 2m blacks sold too so the question remains,what do i go for now........???

    The Alphason arm on a Rock is crying out for a medium-ish compliance moving coil. Dynavevtor 17d OT AT33-PTG mkii would be ideal. Or an Ortofon Cadenza or NOS Kontrapunkt.

    If you want to stay MM then an audio note IQ2 or 3.

    Understandable Jamie. But I reckon you'll be thinking 'what if' for a while mate.
