'BTW, I fiddled with a Decca Jubilee once but my arm was too light for it. It needa a high mass arm. Can't speak for the Ortofon though.'
I've not used a recent Decca, but still have my Decca Gold garrot Brothers and Maroon from the early 80s. I used to sell then in the late 70s/early 80s. In those days, we used them in damped unipivots, which in those days were low to medium mass
(Hadcock/ Mayware, Decca arms). They didn't like arms with rigid bearings (presumably due to the near-zero vertical compliance). I still use my Deccas occasionally in both my old Hadcock and my Schroeder Model 2.
