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.

I want to get out of the MC scene and simplify the number of active stages and no SUT but no idea where to go with an MM. Can you guys give me some tips on how to achieve 90% of the Decca at a fraction of the price? The top Goldring MM or Nagaoka MM or? John

John, buy an used Decca and send it to John Wright in the Shropshire, UK for a rebuild. JW designed the Jubilee and Reference and builds all the current London Decca range.

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.
