Beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity
How timely as I'm nearing the end on my current cartridge! Fingers are crossed...
Hope to be the lucky one. In need of a new cartridge anyway.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Really love to have this cartridge!
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.
I think it's about time I win.
YES, please!
I'll play!
In
Can't wait to win it
Great timing to experience a new cartridge instead of retipping.
To upgrade to this cartridge
Wish me luck.
Maroon me on a dessert island with this GREAT cartridge!
Time for a new stylus.
I'm in, thanks.
Thanks Mikey!
I'd love a London
Thanks Mike
This would be a great birthday present!
Tossing my hat in the ring!
This is a comment, nothing more.
Sign me up, would be a wonderful upgrade to my first turntable, a Uturn audio Orbit!
Dave
Wish me luck.
Want to clock in a London!
This would be great to have - Please help me out. Thanks.
I'm in the process of setting up a second table. Could use another stylus timer and new cartridge. We'll see what my luck is!
Count me in. Shopping for a new cart now!
This comment is gonna make me win
Lets go!
Used to own a Decca Export. It was a great cart.
Tony
Like everyone else, I can always use more cartridges and vinyl accessories!
i hope i win
I always liked London cartridges' sound especially the jubilee's.
my entry
I'm in it to win it.
Good luck all.
This would be a wonderful bonus! Just finished watching the professional turntable correct setup seminar on YouTube with Michael Fremer @ Audio Video Show 2019 Thanks my Canadian RT85W thanks you to I’m just getting into records & Hi-Fi is amazing
i like it
I’ve never heard the London carts. I’d be intrigued to do so.
Count me in please.
Not that there's anything wrong with that…
Why not? I'll take a chance. You can win if you don't enter!
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.
I'm in, and in need of a new cart
...lucky me!
I'd be delighted with the stylus timer. It beats making pencil score marks in a notebook!
...for the very cool sweepstakes!
I hope the cartridge goes to a good home, but "timer" will tell.
I'm in.
Looking forward to my new cartridge
Here's my hat thrown in the ring..
Would make a lovely upgrade to my system.
I sure wish I owned a London maroon cartridge!
(kneeling down and bobbing) I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy...!!
Always wanted to try a Decca!
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.
I heard these London Maroon cartridges were great.
To send my new cartridge to. Thanks so much.
Especially since I'm in the market for a new cartridge already...
Fingers crossed!
I am in
A new London vs. the venerable Goldring G1042
Time to get out the slippers and smoking jacket.
Fingers crossed
I'm in.
Need a new cartridge. Please!
This looks nifty! A review on this cart perhaps?
never thought about using a cart timer...
I'll have a Macaroon please.
You’ll have a fine life on my Rega table enjoying my fine platters.
sign me up.
Would love to win a new cartridge!
Looks interesting
I figured I try anyway, for such a great cartridge.
why not?
A new cartridge would be great.
Thanks for the chance.
Thank you!
yowza
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!
Curt
Sweepstakes enter, I must. Stylus new I trust.
Hello. Thanks for the opportunity Michael!
I had a Decca London years ago, installed in a Rabco SL-8e, but it was stolen. A Maroon would be great.
my current sumiko pearl is about gone. time for an upgrade.
I'm in--thanks.
but it has been a while.
I would be honored and surprised to win such a wonderful cartridge. My turntable would sound so much better. Thank you
I used to live in London in a Maroon house. I'll take one for memories sake!

Perfect summer thrill!
To match my Decca tweeters!
Wow, just the shear growth in number of contest applicants, shows that vinyl truly does rule!

....Great stuff MF!
Count me in.
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.
I need this!
Would love to compare the London to my 2m black - Thanks for giving me the chance with this sweepstake.
Just in time as I'm shopping now
I would love to hear this in my system!
Have always been interested in a London Maroon.
You guys!
i'm intrigued
Thanks for the opportunity!
Wish me luck. I’m in.
A turntable odometer, what a concept!
Already have a couple Stylus Timers....but would be glad to try a Decca cart.
A truckload of desert island discs, a good turntable, and this cartridge--that's my idea of being marooned. Count me in.
I am in need of a new stylus. Thank you
Yes, Please!
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!
i've got a 4 month old that would really benefit from this upgrade!
Have always wanted to try a Decca!!
Very cool - I appreciate the opportunity!
And I'm not what I appear to be
Thanks for the heads up Michael.
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!
It would be interesting to try for sure but what type of cart is it.
I would love to win this cart, Mike!
Would love to win!
Looks like it sounds good to me!
Let me add it to my stable of carts.
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.
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!
Looks great
