Linear tracking tonearms.....
There is also the Bergmann Magne tonearm.

I installed the London Decca Reference. I was told that it would have the dynamics of the Super Gold with more sophistication and nuance.It is actually much more powerful sounding than the Super Gold.It seems to energize all the air in the room an...

Jafox,Warren Gregoire has some used Deccas and can offer attractive pricing on new ones. He will also be able to tell you if your arm is a good match for a Decca.

Warren offered me a good price on the Reference and full refund for returning the Super Gold.I will post my review to this thread but it won't be for a few weeks.

Pani, I use an Airtangent tonearm with the Decca. 
London Decca
Everyday I'm startled by what this cartridge does on my records. With some songs it's almost like I'm hearing them for the first time.That's interesting about the phono cables. I have only ever heard the SG with my Kondo silver tonearm cable. Can ...

I installed the London Decca Super Gold today and I listened to it for a few hours.It is an extremely dynamic and powerful cartridge. At times it is a little scary just how powerful the music is coming from my system. Everything is more real, more...

Pani,I ended up ordering a new Super Gold with the promise that I can return it for a refund (less 10% restocking fee) if it doesn't work with my arm. I will be sure to share my findings with the group.I agree that the ZYX does not lack excitement...

Thanks to everyone for their thoughtful replies!

Audiotomb, thank you for the compliment. If I had the money for a 4D or Uni II I would be very curious. The ZYX really do nothing wrong and I may never find a better cart. Who knows. I keep thinking about Jack(?) Roberts review of the 4D or Atmos ...

Pani, I'm thinking of buying a factory rebuilt super gold with 0 hours on it. It comes with a 1 year warrantee from London Decca. The cost is 500 GBP plus shipping. If it doesn't work well with my Airtangent arm do you think you might be intereste...

Pani,I've been doing some reading on the London Decca Super Gold and it does sound intriguing/exciting. I've also read the reviews that talk about possible problems with the cartridge mistracking, sounding threadbare at times, and being intolleran...
