Oracle Delphi mk3 is it worth it


Hey everyone about two years ago I got a Rega rp8 with a Dynavector xx2mkII cartridge love it. But recently a guy at my dealer is privately selling a oracle Delphi MK3 with a SME5 for a steel of a deal. Only two owners in its life. Should a guy jump on it, will it out porform my Rega. Plus can a guy get the older switches relpaced wit the new aluminum housing and matching switches?

Make sure it’s an original mk3. There are many that have been partially upgraded and claimed to be a mk3. The mk3 is the turning point with new suspension towers. I have seen some mk2 retrofitted with new towers and usually a botched up job by oracle. Buyer beware. 
Go for it. They don't go up for sale very often. It is a bonus if you can pick it up already running (no shipment woes, not set-up to do except cartridge). I am running this cartridge on an Oracle V with Graham 2.2t.

I have had 4 different ORACLE DELPHI decks, first was MK IV w/ (at the time new) hard acrylic mat and stiffer spring suspension. Frankly, it sounded awful no matter how carefully I adjusted the suspension and fine-tuned it, I got perfect up and down bouncing but not a good sound.
I switched it with Goldmund Studio but didn´t like it either. Because its floating flimsy suspension system is a mission impossible, almost made me nuts, well young and foolish I was...
Second was MK III w/ original GROOVE ISOLATOR Black/Gold edition but unfortunately w/ a bit flawed suspension tower positioning so it was another mission impossible to get a fine-tuned suspension not to mention a perfect sound. Third was MK II and everything fell in place, great sound. Last was MK II.7  Black/Gold edition w/ GROOVE ISOLATOR and hyper sensitive (soft) suspension. Sounds absolutely wonderful, easily outperforms Goldmund Studio and Luxman PD444 superlative vintage DD decks. Like day and night.

ORACLE DELPHI MK II/III namely w/ GROOVE ISOLATOR and sensitive suspension is the finest they ever did IME.
