| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Thanks to the last posters for getting this thread back on track...and returning civility.The new 20/3 is a huge step forward in terms of specs. Getting closer to the 30/2 in every way..except price.As the HiFi News reviewer said...this is the swe... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Manitunc.have you heard the Delphi MkVI?I've read and chatted with Jacques of Oracle who says that the new bearing is a great improvement over the last one.Glad you like your new TR .....always great to buy something and have it be all you want it... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Thanks again for the balanced input Dev.I'm also not sold on DD's....but would say that I have not heard one of the tweaked ones in my set up. And I'm not wanting to go the tweakers route for this purchase. Like you, if I want to play later then t... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 That last post was aimed at Mauintunc not Dover.Mauintunc....I absolutely agree with you.Oracle are a real stand up company with a great and historically significant product. That incidentally, recreates piano like a real champ! | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dover...wholeheartedly agree about Oracle.Jacques is a true gentleman and he stands by his product like no other I have experienced.He gives me so much help and time on a table that is 30 years old.Now that's service! | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 I really like ESL's...always have. Now that's what I call music!Artisan Fidelity sell modified Lencos in really lovely looking plinths.They advertise here...... http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtabl&1311228359&/Lenco-L75-DCHM-lig... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 LewM....As an aside.....I really love the look of the modified Lencos. Yeh I know that one doesn't buy on looks but there is an emotion attached to that value that does drive us for sure. Out of interest what is your take on the Artisan Fidelity u... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 I think one of the main differences I'm seeing here is that I am maybe not an "audiophile".I have been listening to music on reasonably nice gear since the early 70's but I have never in that time played the change game with any kind if regularity... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Lewm...nice idea but sorry I just can't muster it enough ;-)I was the Marketing Manager for Trio Kenwood in the UK for several years during the 70's and know their products very well.They were easily some of the best mainstream pieces out there.I ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Inna.....the system is Krell EVO-202, 402e and 505. into B+W 801. Pass Ono Phono. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dover.....I'm also not sure about the in and out of business thing.I know Oracle regrouped once ..many years ago..but to my knowledge they are a stable company offering wonderful customer support and an enviable upgrade path for all old tables. Th... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 First off....thanks for all the comments.Of course I would love to listen to them but I live on Maui (yeh I know, it's a sad story!) and there's simply no way to audition anything in my system. There isn't a decent high end retailer in Hawaii let ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 So...now the question is...20/3 or 20/12?Almost twice the price.That extra dough could go towards a Graham Phantom and very nice cartridge.So for about the same money I could either have a 20/12 with 312S arm or 20/3 with Graham and extra wand for... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dover...you are correct.just got done emailing a UK dealer who will rewire it for me and tells me at that point I will have a very fine arm indeed.I believe I am very close to deciding on the 20/3 for now.The dealer suggests the 20/12 is audibly b... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Sorry I meant to direct that last post @ Dover :-) |
