Neil,

I know, I really liked my Oracle Alexandria too, one of the best audio buying decisions I ever made after my first bit of hi-fi (which was a PL12D).

I don't rate the experience a disaster at all! At the time it was a real opportunity to aquire some serious high end gear at cost price. I also always assumed that the hassle came with the territory, a bit like sports cars?

Never experienced such customer service before or since, which was nice.

The Air-Tangent has been squashed by a flying van propelled Oracle Delphi and rebuilt. It is cosmetically fine, albeit dusty. Not sure if it works yet. I have all the accessories. It would be fitting for it to adorn another Delphi.

I might consider exchanging it for an SME V, if you happen to have a spare one.



Seriously though, I need it to get the turntable to work, a tonearm exchange would be the only option for me.
