I was an Oracle dealer at that time. I'm pretty sure that arm was called the Oracle "Prelude" and it was made by Jelco. I don't think it was an exact 250ST model, but was the same as all the other Jelco OEM arms of the time. Not a bad arm for the money, but you could certainly do better.
Oracle Paris, 15 years old with Jelco 250ST Arm?
Does anyone know if the Oracle Paris (about 12-15 years ago) came with the Jelco 250ST Arm? Unfortunately I can't seem to get Oracle in Canada to reply to my emails asking for basic info and upgrade advice, so I turn to you all.
If my Oracle Paris indeed had the Jelco 250 Arm - is that Arm good enough for a Cartridge upgrade to a Benz Ebony or even a ZYX Air? (Currently using a Benz H2 with seemingly happy results). If my (250ST Arm?) is the weak-link of my Oracle, what is a recommended Arm for my Oracle which is not overkill for that early Oracle?
Thank you.

A Linn Ittok LVII or LVIII would be killer on that table. If you can get a new armboard made, this is my current favorite arm: http://www.audiomods.co.uk/completearms.html Pay the little extra and get the Micrometer version. |
