Which Oracle Delphi Belt?
"Motor housing is square plastic , has speed adjustments for 33 and 45 on the back of the motor housing."That sounds like a MKII Delphi to me. I've owned every version and seem to recall that motor housing as being on a MKII. 
What does microphonic tube sound like?
"Microphonics are a bigger problem with power amplification rather than the smaller tubes in preamps"Really? I have owned hundreds of tube amps and preamps and phono stages and have NEVER had a microphonic tube in an amplifier. I've had plenty in ...
