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