    Default My Delphi

    Here is a quick pic of my Delphi playing one of my favourite albums. The 2nd Free LP from 1969.

    Interesting looking turntable. My father lusted for the Delphi turntable in the 80's.

    I've always loved them. Had many TT's over the years including a Thorens TD160S, Townshend Rock/Excalibur/Merlin and LP12/Ekos, but after hearing my 1st Delphi (Mklll) at Radlett Audio back in 1988, I never really wanted any other TT. This one was also from Dave at Radlett which I picked up about a year ago and apart from needing a new belt and a service, is like new. Well chuffed.

    Fantastic LP with great production. This is a later (1979/80 pressing I think), but still sounds superb. Would love to get hold of a decent 1st press, but becoming very difficult to find and very expensive when you do.

    I always loved the look of the Rock turntables. Most people do find them ugly though. How does the Delphi sound compared to your Rock set up?

    The Rock was a little bit dry and sterile sounding with no real emotion, but still a very nice turntable. Probably more accurate than the Delphi, but no depth for me.

    I was thinking about getting that. How does it compare to the original?

    I think its better , But my original has suffered abuse when I was a teenager and had no knowledge of record player , To stop the arm gliding across the LP i put a 1p coin on the head shell , Sorted
