Originele en nooit gebruikt (nos) met doos en manual alleen een exemplaar. Alleen ophalen!
Is this the kind of NOS Decca piece you’d grab first and think later? At €100, the asking price sits right on the median of the recent comparable EUR listings, so this reads as a fair buy rather than a steal or a stretch.
What makes it appealing is the combination of Decca’s cult status and the NOS angle, which can matter more than a small price spread if you want one clean, original example. For a ribbon-style Decca part, originality and storage history are the big wins here; if the packaging, leads, and unused condition are truly intact, that adds real value.
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.
