Oracle Delphi MK IV - Delrin Pillars Anyone?

Oracle sells the MKV Delrin pillar as an upgrade to the aluminum pillars used in previous models at a cost of $95. The pillars are not seen as they are inside the aluminum pillar cover and are approx. 1/2" diameter and 3" long. They do however support the subframe as the suspension springs are hung from the pillars.

My guess is that the theory is that the Delrin will not transmit sound into the subframe as readily as the aluminum versions will. Make sense??

Wow...I can't believe that it's taken me a year t get around to this project!!!

Finally the Dephi is up and running with Delrin towers, SME V and Grado Reference and does it sound sweet! How's it compare to the out going Well Tempered Classic? Dead 'black' quiet. Detail in all frequencies...I can now hear the bass strings, I can hear details in the sax reed. And bass....tons of controlled bass.

Not sure what I'll do with the WTT, but I still like the simplicity and uniqueness of it's design, but the Oracle is in a different league. thanks to all who replied.

And to those of you who own Oracles or are thinking about one....I can't think of a better, more helpful company. They expressed me parts such as a main bearing thrust pad and suspension springs at no cost!! They tele-walked me through some of the machining that I did to adapt the Delrin towers....can't say enough good stuff about them!!!
