Very good working order. Late mk 2 Delphie as it left the factory with mk 2 base and motor, and mk 3 suspension and platter. No packaging for turntable, but all packaging and accessories for the SME 309 and Ortofon Guintet Black S are included. Hence, pickup only from Gloucester.
At £4,995, this sits well above the recent used market for comparable GBP listings: it’s clearly past the £3,078 75th percentile, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair value. That doesn’t make it unreasonable if the package is exceptional, but it does mean the listing needs to justify the premium with standout condition, provenance, or costly setup work already done.
The upside is real: this is a serious analogue combination with a highly regarded suspended deck, a proven SME arm, and a top-tier moving coil, so the sonic ceiling is very high. If it’s been carefully set up and genuinely well cared for, you’re buying a ready-to-play reference-level spinner. At this price, though, I’d want strong evidence of service history, clean cosmetics, and a fresh stylus report or equivalent documentation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Oracle Audio: Editorial Brand Description
Oracle Audio Technologies was established in 1979 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, by founder Marcel Riendeau, making it a distinctly Canadian high-end audio manufacturer with nearly five decades of heritage. The company has built its reputation on precision engineering and meticulous craftsmanship, with all components manufactured in-house using CNC machines and hand-finishing techniques rather than mass-production shortcuts.
The brand is primarily known for turntables and analog playback components, with the iconic Delphi model serving as its flagship since the brand's inception. Oracle's turntable designs are distinguished by suspended construction that isolates the deck from vibration, a hallmark feature that has earned recognition among audiophiles and professional musicians worldwide. The company also produces CD transports and players, maintaining focus on analog and digital playback rather than amplification or speakers.
Oracle occupies the high-end boutique segment of the audio market, with current models ranging from the Origine at approximately $2,350 to the Delphi MK VI at $8,850. The brand appeals to discerning listeners who prioritize sound quality, innovative design, and sculptural aesthetics—positioning Oracle as a niche manufacturer for collectors and serious analog enthusiasts rather than mainstream consumers. Its Canadian provenance and commitment to handcrafted manufacturing reinforce its positioning as an artisanal alternative to larger international competitors.
