We use a 24 hour courier service but please allow up to 3 days handling time as a lot of our items are large and timeconsuming to package. Many thanks :) Description: Here we have a boxed DECCA FFSS stereo tonearm with papers, it also comes with a FFSS stereo cartridge, which although dose work and sound ok (tested on another arm) is of unknown hours and could probably do with rebuild. The ’Super’ seem be a very rare beast.. Little in the way of marks from a pet and smoek free home. The end of the cable will need to be terminated, it buzzes out ok.

Taking a vacuum of 1.0 as a reference gives the dielectric constant Er for any dielectric. Air is 1.0006, which is practically a vacuum.my cable has 2 air chambers The dielectric constants (Er) and losses (Tan) for several common phono cable insulators are listed below: Insulator Er Approx Tan at 10kHz Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) 4.0-8.0 0.01 - 0.05 Poly Ethylene (PE) 2.6 0.0002 Poly Propylene (PP) 2.25 0.0004 Poly Tetra Flurothelene (PTFE) 2.1 0.002 Air (for reference) 1.0006 Virtually 0 Vacuum (for reference) 1.0000 0 All dielectrics also possess a property known as permittivity. The dielectric with the lowest dielectric constant (part of a vacuum) is air, and this results in the lowest losses of any practical material. The greater the permittivity, the greater the loss and the higher the capacitance. The capacitance is also determined by the spacing and diameter of the conductors. The greater the distance between any two conductors in a given dielectric, the lower the capacitanceThe majority of lower-priced cables, and many in my sample, used PTFE dielectrics, which cause inherently greater capacitance and dielectric losses. Whatever is done with the conductor spacing and diameter, such cables are at a distinct disadvantage, with either greater capacitance or inductance (or both).Some esoteric cables employ a number of separately insulated paralleled wires to form the two conductors. With certain geometries and lower-grade materials, this can cause capacitance to rise to a high level. worldwide shipping for free

Rare Decca London II c/w original box - we are unable to test but it has tested positive for continuity on both channels. Comes with tone-arm adapter. The stylus is sitting very close to the cartridge body - Im not sure if this is normal for this design but worth mentioning all the same, there is also an indentation on one side of the cartridge, I have no idea how this happened but it looks like the plastic shards are still there if anyone felt confident in repairing it.. Very hard to come by now and open to sensible offers. 100% positive feedback - any questions please ask away : )

Decca C4E ffss phono cartridge. Checks good on my Fluke 77 meter for left and right side of 5.05k ohms each so well balanced. Under a magnifying loop I see the needle looks straight and sharp point. I tried to capture this in the pictures but very hard to do. (left shelf, 2nd down, DS)
