RE: unfair...unfair....

**Assuming both specimens are in good operational condition.**

I do have a hankering to find an Oracle Delphi. And these are excellent suspended belt drive turntables. But the LO-7 will be superior in every performance category. The Kenwood will be the better sounding of the two. But there is a price differential. The LO-7 are rare and collectible. The Oracle Delphi is not nearly so rare and demands less money in used condition. By quite a bit, I believe. That stacks the deck in favor of the Kenwood.

Rats. I would have preferred a choice between belt drives or a choice between direct drives rather than this choice. But the LO-7 would be really cool to have around...even if it doesn't -quite- live up to its legendary reputation.

Even though I really do admire the Oracle Delphi (any mark), I will have to choose the LO-7 simply because it is a no-brainer.
