I've used Decca cartridges for decades, having tried them all, always looking for improvement. Maroon, elliptical, gold, super gold, Jubilee, and Reference. The earlier models with and without the Decca Clamp.
I've found they sound best in a damped arm. I've used the Keith Monk with mercury contacts (a nightmare with oxidation on the mercury), Formula Four, Hadcock, and Well Tempered. The WT Reference is the best in my opinion. It allows for adjustment of the amount of damping, which is critical to get it sounding at its best.
When heard at its best, a Decca is addictive for the naturalness of its sound. No other cartridge has the clarity. It's a finicky cartridge and takes lots of patience to set it up, which has to be done by ear for final adjustments. Most of the mistracking can be adjusted out with the WT Reference and cartridge setup (to be sure the cartridge is properly aligned). Again final adjustments are by ear over a period of time on a range of records. The most highly modulated grooves will not be perfectly tracked, but the alternative is a better tracking cartridge with less clarity, the visual equivalent to looking through a slightly dirty or grimy window.
