詳情

The London Decca Gold is a classic cartridge design which utilises a nude elliptical stylus and a Tie-Wire system.

The Gold has no long cantilever and no "rubbery" fulcrum point to absorb, dissipate and smear the vital musical energy. Instead, the stylus is attached directly to a magnetically active metal support just a few microns thick (armature) which passes through the center of the main generating coil positioned only about 1 millimeter above the stylus! The stylus motion is not inverted or "transformed" to a smaller value, as in long cantilever designs. Flowing from this immediate positive-direct scanning of the groove is a breathtaking, lifelike quality. The listener tends to feel that the performing artists are actually in the same room, with a startling, palpable presence.

The Gold uses a nude, polished, grain-oriented elliptical stylus, with the same generator and similar housing of the Super Gold. We estimate the Gold cartridge provides 80% to 85% of the state-of-the-art musical realism provided by the Decca Jubilee. Frequency range: 20Hz to 40 kHz.
