I will have to hear it!
One forum member had trouble with hum with his XP-25 so I am very interested in your hum comments re Decca cartridges.

You are very welcome.
I heard the tiniest bit of hum with the London Reference at first but that was with the ground lead from tonearm to XP-27 detached and the volume cranked much higher than I'd ever dare listening. Re-attaching the ground lead completely banished the tiny bit of residual hum.
With the Dynavector XV1-S it doesn't matter whether the ground lead is attached or not, it is completely silent.
