I’m sure oxforddoc has used a haddock tonearm for years with a decca Cartridge.
As did many others, it was a very popular and successful combo. Perhaps AndyU has setup issues.

He also has many SPUs, koetsu jade with diamond cantilever and urushi.

That's interesting, Bonzo. Having a Urushi and vaguely aspiring to a stone bodied K, either there's little in the two models or he wouldn't play the Urushi in favour of the Jade. Is the K hierarchy just cochones ?
I used a Hadcock for mine. The combination ruined many records.
If you are thinking of Koetsu, you need to have an FR 64s at a minimum. It is pointless to me with SME, Ikeda, Graham Elite, SAEC 506, and Kuzma 4p. There is some positive synergy with Koetsu and the FR.
I had a Decca London 40 or so years ago. Then at least it was a very low compliance design with a spherical stylus, woeful tracking, massive microphony, occasionally thrilling seat-of-the-pants sound, and the ability to recut your records. Nowadays you would call it a destructive read.oh is the decca very low compliance? i know relatively little about them but always been very intrigued

I had in Gold in a Hadcock GH224 back in the day.
The Gold was superb but the arm had clearly been made in someone's shed - awful thing so I changed it for a Syrinx PU2.
That combo sounded really good but I managed to destroy the Gold one night when pis*ed - the PU2 was a highly unstable beast.
I never replaced the Gold because, fabulous as it was, it only sounded good for the first half of any LP side. The second half was a mistracking disaster.
I replaced it with a Goldring IGC920 which was a much calmer ride all round, if rather less dynamic.
