Brooks Berdan is considered one of the masters when it comes to oracles. you might want to ask him for some free advice. he's got his own mod which runs around $300 (i think) and consists of adding a weight to the bottom of the platter to increase its mass. he's in the los angeles area 626-359-9131.
Opinions: Oracle/SME IV/ Monster Alpha2
I'm considering purchasing an Oracle turntable that is in mint condition, but have a couple of reservations...
The arm is an SME IV. Is this sypatico with the Oracle? I thought the Oracle or Graham arms were the hot ticket with this table.
The cartridge is a Monster Aplha2, which needs to be re-tipped. Is this worth re-tipping or should I just get another cartridge. I've had the "buying fever" lately if re-tipping is a viable option this will help slow down the spending (fiscal hemoraging?).
Thanks in advance.
