The
new London Decca Jubilee has retained and enhanced the legendary
musical realism of its predecessors, but also achieves
"world-class" tracking ability, at only 1.8 grams (VTF). A damped
tone arm is not necessarily required, and unlike most high quality
moving-coil designs, the electrical output level of the London Decca Jubilee
is among the highest- 5mV, needing no pre-preamp or step-up transformer.
The London Decca Jubilee is individually hand crafted, using coils wound of
oxygen-free copper conductors and high flux samarium cobalt magnets. Its
cartridge body is machined by computer from a solid block of aluminum, and
shaped to hold the motor assembly and the polished, natural grain--oriented,
line contact diamond stylus with absolute precision. This acoustically inert
cartridge body contributes to the Jubilee's low-coloration music
reproduction, and provides a firm flat mounting surface with internal threads
to facilitate installation.
"...unrivalled
dynamics...the best phono cartridge I've tried. The dynamic expression was
revelatory, even state-of-the-art...spine-tingling excitement...textbook
reading of pace, rhythm and timing...sets an example to all."
Jubilee, Stereophile, June 1995
"Amazing! Incredible! Fantastic! These were the words that sprang to
mind when auditioning the London Jubilee...the sheer detail and vividness of
the Jubilee bowled me over...brings music to life like no other."
Jubilee, Hi-Fi Choice, April 2001.
