About the Delphi MkVI
The Oracle Delphi mkVI is a second-generation belt-driven turntable featuring a spring-suspended, viscous-damped design with an outboard power supply. It operates at 33 1/3 and 45 rpm speeds and is supported by three suspension pillars to efficiently control unwanted vibrations. The design philosophy centers on controlling micro vibrations and micro calibration, recognizing that the phono cartridge stylus is extremely sensitive to minute groove deviations but also transmits vibrational energy that can induce resonances in the system. The turntable addresses resonances generated by tonearm bearings and tubes, which can cause coloration unrelated to the music. The system aims to minimize mechanical cancellation effects caused by micro movements in tonearm bearings, ensuring the stylus captures all micro signals from the vinyl. External vibrational energy sources are categorized as electrical, mechanical, and acoustical, with mechanical and acoustical isolation being critical for optimal performance. The Delphi mkVI's power supply is simple and efficient, with an optional Turbo Power Supply Mk II available for substantial sonic improvements by reducing parasitic noise. Overall, the Delphi mkVI is engineered to preserve the harmonic structure of music with remarkable transient response and dynamic contrast, making it a high-end analog playback solution for audiophiles.
