Sean, you are right on with your comments. As to the cartridge, this was one of the "great" cartridges at that time. This, along with the Shure and ADC xlm were tops on peoples list. The version I had was the Decca Gold. Not a great tracker but did it ever pound out the music and cut away all the glare! I guess todays Lyra Helikon would be considered today's Decca Gold (IMHO).
