Additional Info
The London Decca Super Gold Type II delivers razor-sharp presence and startling immediacy, that unmistakable Decca signature. Vocals sit forward and tangibly real, transients snap with rare speed, and the soundstage throws image outlines with pinpoint precision. Bass carries surprising weight for the breed, while the lively balance rewards well-controlled arms and punishes poor pressings. The stylus is integrated, so only a retip cures wear.
