    I love the Oracle stuff, plus it just looks so cool.

    Similar design cues in my eyes:

    Yep, I've heard it - bloody good transport. Interesting that the design doesn't appear to have changed in all that time, which is a sure sign it was a successful one to start with!

    I'd still rather have the Audi, though

    The CDP's are nice but you can't beat the Delphi turntable, with the Mk4 and MK 5 being the best. I must say though that I prefer the speed changer on the MK 4 to the Mk 5 . It just looks a bit unfinished with those two rods sticking out. Love the glowing Oracle logo on the older deck IMHO. One of the, if not the most beautiful turntabes ever IMHO. I love my MK 4 Delphi

    I like it.

    Had it nearly eight years now and for the past year enjoyed it even more going through Stans £99.00 DAC.

    Previous DACS were Audio Note (?),Audio Synthesis Dax Decade,Chord 64 and Perpetual Technologies P1-A and P3-A.

    In my system,I much prefer Stans DAC.
