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

I own a Linn and an Oracle and love them both. That being said, for a set and forget table, I recommend the Scout.
I thought I answered your question. I own Oracle, Linn and VPI. They are all very good to great. Buy the VPI.
