Are there any Delphi Oracle Users Who Can Comment


Oracle Delphi users,... can you comment on your TT and your love/hate? Is it an excellent TT or is it just a cool one? What is it? 

Their support seems to be very excellent and their upgrades are at least existing and relevant.

The Oracle Delphi is an outstanding turntable - I traded my Denon DP-80 for one back in the 80s. Mine was a Series III. Setup is a little tricky because you need to get the suspension springs to work pistonically for best results, but it gets easier with practice. Earlier models used a counterweight under the plinth - rather than springs - to balance the turntable.

Later models look much the same, but have a broader subchassis, which has improved stability. One change I did make to mine was to replace the plastic armboard with a metal one, and that made a big difference.

I sold my Delphi to a friend who still uses it with my old FR 64FX arm. It still sounds great. Its weakness is in the lowest bass, which isn't a big issue for him in his system.
