The Oracle Delphi turntable



The Delphi MK VI



Welcome to the newer Generation of Canadian built Audiophile Turntables


Proudly built for over 35 years this company has produced over 11,000 turntables and have competed on the world market with the likes of Linn Sondek tables and other pure builds. Its 3 - axis design is recognizable across any room. Light years ahead of other designs when introduced in 1979.

Here we have the Next Gen. The Delphi Mk.VI

Polished Aluminum on an acrylic bed challenges future lines of designs to excel materials past this sleek, clean feel. A redesigned bearing and carries a 6 point adjustment. Quite versatile in set-up and positioning. The sound is accurate and brilliant with a feel like you are completley balanced and tracking with perfection. Quite a visceral feeling. This has to be on your short list of platters to own.

Harman Kardon Receiver - hk350i

If I was only using a one word description it would be "vibrant". This great sounding 20watt receiver has the classic early eighties look from the well respected Harman/Kardon corporation. Although this hk350 is a lower entry audiophile model it doesn't disappoint in hifi quality at all. In fact, after listening to it on a comparison to some others in the Vintage Sound collection, I would say that the quality of sound is in direct competition with others that are twice its MSRP of it's time. Newly arrived, I was struck by the vibrant tones it produced. Amazing performance on a budget. A very nice analog tuner as well to keep that traditional receiver concept.




These are readily available second hand units that I would recommend if you are getting into some vintage equipment. Start with this and then trade your way up. Your ears will enjoy the hk350i.
