Any thoughts on the new Deccas and compatibility with the standard 1200G tonearm? I'm assuming a love match but would appreciate feedback from others. Thanks in advance.
Progress at londondecca.com
There have been two hopeful changes at londondecca.com - there is a "Coming Soon" link which promises an online store, and there is the ability to create an account for online shopping. I did so and received a welcome e-mail from Stewart Suda (I have e-mailed back and forth with a Stewart who seemed to be in charge). So I looked him up, and turns out he is the owner of Rogers Music Systems, which is the agent for Rogers speakers in the USA, based in Green Bay, WI.
So Decca is probably now an American enterprise, though repairs are, I assume, still based in the UK It has been Neil Marshall in Exeter). The online shop might indicate that new cartridges will soon be sold (he had told me he hoped for August 2024, but evidently that has slipped). I wonder if they will be made in the UK or the USA?
I’m hoping there will soon be a new generation of Decca enthusiasts!

@dogberry Thank you for the response...but a 300+ page thread sounds more like Lenco Hell, no? Lol...will definitely check it out.
@bdp24 Funny you say that because 'Brit synergy,' in a way, is what encouraged my interest/the question. According to Art Dudley, Rega's RB300, a medium mass arm similar to the one on the 1200G, was a great mate for the Decca Maroon...https://www.stereophile.com/content/listening-156 |
