What's a real good arm for a Decca Cartridge?


I have a Decca London Super Gold with a paratrace stylus. It's sound as good as anything I've ever heard using my SME M2-12R arm on a rebuilt TD124. The problem is I want something that will track all my LPs and the SME just won't. After a bunch of tweaking, including adding tons of mass, it'll play 90% without issue. What arm will get me those extra 10%?

I am sure it is as you state with people just using the term Decca London and then tacking on the model name after, like Blue or Grey etc.

So if it is originally a Decca Blue it still has a good chance it was , as claimed, rebuilt by John Wright.

I read somewhere that after his rebuilds also depending on what stylus he used that vtf was reduced considerably to below 2g.

I am wondering just how much of the original Decca sound a rebuilt cart would still have?
While we are on the subject of Decca.

Does anybody know much about Decca London Blue, supposedly rebuilt by John Wright?

Sound to expect?
Might work out on the Nottingham table which has a fairly decent unipivot arm.

Or even on a Lenco......

Always been intrigued by them but no experience with them at all.
