[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I would like to ask a question. Does the Jubilee add a specific color signature, or does it change appropriately with the music it plays? [/quote] To make it brief. I do not think that it is warranted to talk about “Jubile...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] Would it be possible for you to post some samples?

Hi Paul,Yes, I agree with everything you have said. I love the Well Tempered system because it is extremely simple and elegant, as you say, making it easy to work with.The older top of the line Decca London Jubilee has incredible presence but was no...

OK, this is useful also, in that you have not noted a "pattern" as you say. My point is closer to your suggestion, that I do change cart --- and sometimes buy new ones, B U T I do not buy other SUT (at least I try to avoid it). I'm currently waiting...

After dealing with a few individuals trying to sell me a FR-7, I've decided to kiss goodbye to this idea and look into the direction which has actually been considered at this site: Decca Jubilee. From several sources the the signals are that this m...

[quote user="Paul S"]Art Dudley did a pretty fair review of the Jubilee for Stereophile a couple of years back. Of course, he is selling it, so one must +/- read between the lines. Still, he at least touches on/talks about the important stuff in term...

Romy, I think you are asking if I have the Edgar subwoofers also. Yes, I do, like giant woodgrain refrigerator in the living room. So I do get some bass response.The Decca cartridges sound different from every other cartridge I have heard...
|
|
Romy,If you are looking for a cartridge, I would suggest:The London Decca Reference, great tracker, andThe London Decca Jubilee, closer to life, but not as good a tracker.For me, in my system, you remember I use the EdgarHorn Titans, etc., nothing co...

That was very interesting romy. The SPU sound for me was always "woody", which isn't far from brown I guess, and ¨noble¨strikes me as well in the description (it really hits its stride on chamber orchestra or vocal recital for me). Shelter colo...

It's probably as good or even worse than Acoustic Solid, Acoustic Signature , VPI , Teres , Galibier and army of heavy TT's you don't have to rob a bank and can buy third hand for fraction of original price. My undersanding is there weren't many heav...

Romy,Sorry for your disappointing experience. I did e-mail Warren to say a friend had his Shelter cartridge die and to give him a good deal. It may be true that the Decca is not optimal for your tone arm; I am not sure why this would be t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yes, this is what I expected. That slightly fatty lower range is what I have and I do tend to like this type of response.[/quote]Thanks Romy.Yes, it seems intrinsic in the design. The above curve is simulation, but I get i...

That thing should have decent imaging, with better spread and depth, etc. Have you messed with anti-skate yet?The MC 3000II takes LOTS of anti-skate, and if I recall the Jubilee took more than some other cartridges I have used.Anyway, it's...

If you're willing to travel to Notown I can lend you a pair of K-Horn bass bins loaded with Altec 803a.They are not Jubilee and you would probably want to augment it with some sub-bass but maybe not since I only experienced them in a frame house wit...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Well, I figured out – if digital is dead then I need to put the heavy artillery in the fight I begin to spin records. With my TT setup I have an interesting tool - I run my input-choke powered “End of the Life” Phonostage ...

So, having thought about it, there are enough concerns about the Windfeld, I do not care to have yet another $3000 experiment. The moving coil-cantilever system is to me fundamentally flawed. The primary differences we hear seem to very frequently ...

Yesterday a local audio guy to me with this idiotic cartridge experiments and I was forced to dis-calibrate my second arm. So, this morning I felt to go for Mravinsky Bruckner 8 that I have only on record and I was thinking what needle to put in my s...

Well, I did not listen my new Jubilee any more, perhaps this weekend I will back to vital. However, based upon my last night’s very short experience here is my association about the sound of the cartridges. It is a fragment of the famous Albert Memor...

Romy, what you describe is exactly what motivated my own decision. This was the main thing that bugged me when listening between master tapes (and careful 1st dubs) and the LPs made from them, meaning the way the LP (and presumably the cartridg...

As for the EAR834 Air itself, while calibrating I've noticed I always get a a delicate MF recess, no matter what I do:(neverming the HF roll-off--it's my cheap card, I'll scan it with SG505-HP400FL when I mount them)Can it be that this slight recess ...

Romy, thanks for another nudge toward Bruckner. I was not at all aware of Schuricht before your post, and I do like what I heard of his 8th and 9th via headphones, off the computer, although I realize this is a just thumbnail version. You have said s...

To me, getting good sound from 50-250hz with one channel is almost a victory. That is exactly what I am unable to get in my system. So even though the aim is wider bandwidth, if the Jubilee is good for 50-250hz, within the context of high eff horn sy...

Hi Paul,Well, that sounds very intriguing. Of course, the low end Decca cartridges like the Gold are exactly as you describe: infernal, insufferable, tempermental, occasionally wonderful. The new Decca Reference is quite different, i would say as i...
