London Decca

I just purchased a London Decca Super Gold.
I'm wondering if anyone has compared it the Jubilee and/or the Reference. I'm loving the Super Gold and I'm wondering if it is worth the money to move up the line.

You might get a Blue or Maroon a bit cheaper. BTW, a Decca is a moving iron not a MM. But, yeah, high output etc.

I never noticed an issue with the old stylus either. In fairness, I don't have many warped records.
