Oracle Delphi vs Linn Sondek vs VPI Scout

I am wanting to buy a good turntable. I am considering 2 older tables, the Linn Sondel LP12 and the Oracle Delphi MKI or MKII. As well, I am looking at a newer VPI Scout. All can be had for about the same price. The Oracle and Linn are both between 10 and 20 years old while the Scout is only 1 or 2.

What is the better sounding unit? Which table should I purchase? What should I be concerned about with respect to each of these tables?

I appreciate all opinions.

Cheers,

Michael

Has anyone compared the Oracle or Sondek directly with any of the tables from VPI? What I am hearing so far is that VPIs are easier to set up. I don't mind tinkering a little bit with the setup if it results in better sound. However, if the VPI is easy to setup and there is no noticeable difference in sound, the decision seems easy - VPI all the way.

Any comments?
