Perfect timing as I need a new cart for the Sansui 929 TT I got before Xmas but been sick since and off work for much of 2021 so a cart is not an option right now. This would make my year.

A lot about the history of Decca cartridges and am fascinated. Watched some videos of this cartridge and it is such a dynamic, beautiful sound.

fishbone35's picture

I'm in, and in need of a new cart

John Macca's picture

...lucky me!

Andrew L's picture

I'd be delighted with the stylus timer. It beats making pencil score marks in a notebook!

I hope the cartridge goes to a good home, but "timer" will tell.

I sure wish I owned a London maroon cartridge!

davenportbuzz's picture

(kneeling down and bobbing) I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy...!!

JayhawkHiFi's picture

Always wanted to try a Decca!

BCDC's picture

The Stylus timer sounds like a good idea but there is little point starting it during the time of my current cartridge so I will need to win the new London one as well. Then I can send my existing one off for a re tip. Thank in advance.

abertawe's picture

I heard these London Maroon cartridges were great.

Howard's picture

To send my new cartridge to. Thanks so much.

I had a Decca once many decades ago. It was such a great cartridge. Really played the music. Always wanted another one. Hoping to have one once again as a result of this contest. Good luck everyone!

Sweepstakes enter, I must. Stylus new I trust.

vinylrules's picture

Hello. Thanks for the opportunity Michael!

mrbruce's picture

I had a Decca London years ago, installed in a Rabco SL-8e, but it was stolen. A Maroon would be great.

mikeydevod's picture

transitive verb. 1 : to put ashore on a desolate island or coast and leave to one's fate. 2 : to place or leave in isolation or without hope of ready escape. maroon.

Would love to compare the London to my 2m black - Thanks for giving me the chance with this sweepstake.

bubbaz's picture

A turntable odometer, what a concept!

Kevin R-M's picture

Already have a couple Stylus Timers....but would be glad to try a Decca cart.

Mark Cherrington's picture

A truckload of desert island discs, a good turntable, and this cartridge--that's my idea of being marooned. Count me in.

ajpanic's picture

I am in need of a new stylus. Thank you

mstcraig's picture

Yes, Please!

Old Audiophile's picture

Thanks for this tip on the stylus timer, Mike! Just bought one directly from StylusTimer. No shipping charge and took only 3 days to arrive! Great service & lightening delivery speed! Where has this been all my life? For decades I've been relying on my tiny microscope, my ears and a time guesstimate to tell me when it's time for a new stylus of cartridge. This will certainly help!

citizenandrew's picture

i've got a 4 month old that would really benefit from this upgrade!

Robert Young's picture

Have always wanted to try a Decca!!

joeslang's picture

Very cool - I appreciate the opportunity!

David Andrews's picture

And I'm not what I appear to be

kramth's picture

Thanks for the heads up Michael.

Analogico's picture

As I truly believe that you can't objectively tell the difference between a CD and Vinyl, anybody that thinks otherwise is just delusional. Want proof? Send these to me and I'll post a video showing it!

BarakaPDub's picture

It would be interesting to try for sure but what type of cart is it.

berlinerpunk's picture

I would love to win this cart, Mike!

nelsonkiwi's picture

Would love to win!

barfle's picture

Looks like it sounds good to me!

Lanzing's picture

Let me add it to my stable of carts.

DrJB's picture

I've broken three cantilevers in the last 12 months, Hana, Grado, Soundsmith. Please draw my name so that I can try my hand with the Decca.

And thanks for your analog dedication, AP! I can't help but think that you folks are partially responsible for my incompetent handling of expensive bobbles.

alrau@juno.com's picture

Congrats on your new speakers! If I win I can compare my VERY old, hand-tuned, Decca Gold with a new Maroon (which seems to eschew the crappy plastic mount of the original Deccas) on my Audiostatics! I'll even know how much time I spend comparing them with my new timer!

kingofallvinyl's picture

Looks great
