Please reread my note. Sell the DV and the SUT. I just replaced the same XXMKii with an Aida on an Oracle.
Recently acquired a Oracle DelphiMKII need suggestions
Hi everyone I recently acquired a mint Oracle Delphi mk3 that was in storage in the past 30years. Greatest part I got it with an SME IV tonearm all in as a bundle for $1800 CAD. I currently have a used Dynavector XX2 MKII cartridge that needs a retip. Though I have a sale's guy telling me that the SME IV is a hard tone arm and table to match a cartridge hence why people mostly use Koetsu with them. I was thinking of just getting it retip or should a guy get a Benz glider. My biggest concern which gives more bass factor and definition, and in that case should I stick with the Dynavector.
Second of all the phono preamp I have running through this is a Cary slp-98p with a all tube class A triode MM phono built in, through a Ortofon Verto SUT with 24db of gain and I'm thinking of getting a new SUT for the preamp to get the full performance of the xx2.
Should a guy get a bobs devices Sky 20 but with 26db of gain to get the full potential of the cartridge or the Ortofon ST-80 SE which my dealer recommend to me. I am currently on the budget for >$2000CAD for a SUT so I think Dynavector one is out of the question. What are your thoughts and experiences with SUT and carriages?
