I need another turntable like I need another hole in my head, but a locally-available Oracle Delphi MlkII has my attention. This one has a Linn Basik LV X arm included. The record clamp is included, and it seems to have to have (2) separate power supplies??? View from the rear:

The one consistent gripe I see in reviews is lack of low-end bass with these , but I have a weakness for suspended sub-chassis turntables.

Anyone have input on these classics?

    Nice tables, but not enough mass for my taste.

    Make sure the owner has the setup instructions and adjustment springs for different mass tonearms. A little time consuming to setup, but wonderful design.

    I have one, and I love it..it’s a little tricky to set up, because you need to match the spring set up with your arm, but once that’s done your golden. I never had any issues with a lack of bass, but systems vary...o84g5k4tcar9.jpeg
