I auditioned the Delphi MkII against the Linn back around 1980, both well tuned at a good audio store, and the Delphi won to my ears and everybody's at the store, which happened to be a major Linn distributor, and I still own it.
Oracle Delphi vs Linn Sondek vs VPI Scout
I am wanting to buy a good turntable. I am considering 2 older tables, the Linn Sondel LP12 and the Oracle Delphi MKI or MKII. As well, I am looking at a newer VPI Scout. All can be had for about the same price. The Oracle and Linn are both between 10 and 20 years old while the Scout is only 1 or 2.
What is the better sounding unit? Which table should I purchase? What should I be concerned about with respect to each of these tables?
I appreciate all opinions.
Cheers,
Michael
