Oracle turn table

Thank you very much Jeffoistarca for the information. I went and searched on the entire range of model you have mentioned and you are right; the Mark IV is the best choice .I fell in love with the Oracle table in the beginning of the 80s at a Toronto show and I guess I stayed under the spell long enough to still desire one. If I can find one I would like to set it with the Quad 405-2 ,34 pre-amp and a pair of KEF 105.2.Hopefuly I will be able to trade the clarity of sound of CDs for music.

Newbee the Nottingham is a mean looking thing what made you choose that?

Humm! Newbee, point taken, a more practical approach indeed. Well, I will satisfy my dream first then I will consider this avenue if cannot get the combination right.
Which makes me think about something …errrrhummm…you wouldn’t be interested in a couple of cats (12) by any chance?
