anyone tried any oracle stuff?
they make a very fancy cd player and also a rather nice integrated amplifier
the s1000
175 wpc at 8ohms and a good write up?
i know its SS and you guys are all valve mad but there are a few advantages of SS surely?
anyone had experience of them in the UK ?

Only the Delphi MK4 turntable which I use and love. Both a style and sound quality icon imho/e.
I have no hands on experience of the CD player or amplification.

Hi Phil
i love good valve amps, but the CA740a has changed my mind about SS , so i would say try and have a listen to one these Oracle amps ! it may be surprising who knows.
The Oracle Delphi is a fabulous deck .

Indeed, it was a great deck and available now S/H at sensible money. If you turned it over to look underneath all the clever engineering became evident. Its always interesting to see how a company scales down from their top models.
I never liked the look of the Premier...it just looked wrong.

You mean the Oracle 'Paris' was so wrong :)

Looks lovely when fitted with an SME IV/V arm. Seem to remember it got good reviews at the time.

Yeh brilliant, kinda simular looking to the Alphason 'Sonata' with the turrets..
A beautiful looking turntable was the Alphason 'Symphony' fitted with 'HR100S' has gotta be one of the best sounding TT's ever.

The Paris looked like a five year old had been learning how to use a plane on a bit of scrap timber.
