Oracle Delphi Power supply

i replaced the power supply on my oracle w/origin-live's dc power supply, & i'm very happy. it wasn't so straight-forward adapting it to fit the 'table, but it wasn't *too* bad, and origin-live's email support was wery good & helpful. it involved a couple of spacers to get the o-l pulley mounted a bit higher in the oracle's housing (i found that fuel hose, cut to ~3/4" high, worked wery vell, giving it firm, but damped support, & allowing longer screws to go thru it into the oracle's housing), grinding some metal off of the o-l motor bracket to clear the platter, getting a li'l box from radio-shack to house the electronics, and buying a flat belt the same size as the original's round belt. it's also possible to hook it up using the oracle's on/off switch - ya yust leave the o-l switch in the *on* position. only ting i couldn't figure out was how to get the li'l lite in the oracle's switch-housing to come on, but i don't miss this much.

all in all, an excellent p/s, & i tink it's a steal at the price - i tink the whole ting was less than $400, delivered from stoneaudio-uk. i'm not sure i'd go for the oracle p/s, even if it was the same price as the o-l... check out origin-live's www: http://www.originlive.com/ also, stoneaudio's www: http://www.stoneaudio.co.uk/ i also got the fully-tweaked rega rb250 - also an amazing deal, imho...

good luck, doug

i've heard of the walker p/s, but have never even *seen* one, let alone auditioned it. the hi-end press seems to like it, tho... ;~) do you still keep your original motor w/it? w/the o-l mod i did, it also replaces the motor. for a couple hundred dollars more, there's a supposedly even *better* p/s one could get... i'd seriously check out their info on their www &/or email mark baker - i don't see how you can get near their mod for the price, even used.

regards, doug

ps - vpi also has a p/s that has gotten reviews similar to the walker - again, serious money, & again, i believe ya keep the original motor.
