In my case I needed a new stylus, and the cartridge had become very microphonic, which usually means one of the coils has become loose. So it would have needed the top taking off, the potting removing, coil fixed in place, new potting, new stylus and new tie back string.
Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge
I tried very hard finding a way to place a WANTED ad on Audiogon, but w/o success. Ideally, I would get a "found it" alert on my eMail (like on USAudiomart).
Can anyone help me with this? Specifically, I am looking for a London Reference phono cartridge: I had contacted Mr. Wright in the UK, who hand-crafted these instruments over many years, but he informed me that he is retiring by the end of October and just sold his last one. Hence my post here. I would also appreciate comments from current users of they cartridge what to watch out for, specifically how to "tame" highs on fff symphonic passages. Thanks in advance!
