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!

Thank you very much for that info. I do indeed have friends in HK. I already contacted Avantgarde.

 

Same here: no response from Avantgarde HK. Meanwhile, I was offered a good-as-new (40 hrs play time) AudioTechnica AT_ART 1000 for $3K: I guess that will be my choice unless someone here tells me :" Oh no, don't do that!!!".
