| Advice for a new Oracle Delphi Owner "As I recall, adjusting the Delphi III's tower height does not change the tension on the springs - only their height. The turntable is designed to be "springy" and performance will likely suffer if you try to "firm up" its suspension." Exactly. I... | |

| Advice for a new Oracle Delphi Owner It would be foolish to replace the GROOVE ISOLATOR . So is replacing the original soft suspension. Fine tuning becomes much more difficult. So does finding the right tune/sound balance. There´s no real advantage when things get more complicated. T... | |
| Advice for a new Oracle Delphi Owner Excellent ! No lateral movement. The sound is already there. There is never too much bounce. It was so fun to bounce my Delphis. I dreamed the bouncing would last for a minute, at least. Seriously, happy days :) | |
| Advice for a new Oracle Delphi Owner I have had 4 Delphis. II.5 and II.7 with the GROOVE ISOLATION w/ clamp & space-washer were the best hands down in audio quality. Because it´s the best record clamping system there can be. Platter + GI + record become one unit. Never liked the ... | |

| To isolate or not to isolate, that is the question First you need to listen some Paco de Lucia and after that consider the situation ;) 1) I´d not isolate the marble selves, just put them sit on metal spikes with metal washers (coins) underside. This transfers mechanical energy/vibrations into the... | |
| MM cartridges I´m using the Trans-Fi air bearing linear tracker. I have not experienced the newer, long nose edition of the ACUTEX 320 but have the LPM315. Compared to the M320 it is not as certain and pure on the most demanding material, it just can´t make the... | |
| MM cartridges I´d strongly recommend the Audio-Technica ANV150 or the ACUTEX M320 STR III (the earlier & better version aka short nose).If you are interested I have a NOS ANV150 for sale, I bought it from Japan 2 years ago so its insurance is no longer vali... | |
