Originele en nooit gebruikt (nos) met doos en manual alleen een exemplaar. Alleen ophalen!
This €100 asking price is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €137 and far under the median of €184 for recent comparable EUR listings. You are paying roughly half the typical floor price for this Decca London Ribbon model, making it an exceptional buying opportunity if the condition is sound.
The Decca London Ribbon tweeters are well-regarded for their smooth, airy high-frequency extension that avoids the harshness common in cheaper ribbon designs, offering a distinct vintage character prized by enthusiasts. Their rarity as original 1970s components and the potential for NOS (New Old Stock) status add meaningful upside, especially at this price point. With no caveats raised given the deep discount, this listing represents a chance to acquire a respected, high-performance driver at a price that rarely appears in the used market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Decca traces its origins to 1929 in the United Kingdom, when stockbroker Edward Lewis acquired the Decca Gramophone Company—itself rooted in the earlier Decca Dulcetphone portable phonograph from the 1910s—and launched Decca Records alongside it. Born amid the gramophone era, the brand quickly gained prominence in audio recording and playback, evolving from a record label into a respected name in high-fidelity components while the recording arm grew under Universal Music Group.
In the hi-fi realm, Decca is renowned for its phono cartridges, particularly the iconic moving-coil designs from the mid-20th century, celebrated for their low-mass, lightweight styli and exceptional tracking. Under the London Decca banner since the original brand's sale in 1989, it continues producing premium cartridges that prioritize detail retrieval and tonal accuracy. The lineup remains narrowly focused, eschewing broader categories like amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Decca commands a cult following among vinyl enthusiasts and vintage collectors for its timeless engineering and "house sound"—warm, refined, and dynamically alive. Though production volumes are modest via its current stewardship (londondeccaaudio.com), these cartridges remain a benchmark for serious analog setups, blending heritage prestige with boutique exclusivity.
