Oracle Audio Thalia and Corinth Phono Cartridges
Designed by Lukaschek HiFi-Elektronik
Since 1979, Oracle Audio Technologies has been producing state of the art stereo
components. The Oracle Audio Thalia and Corinth phono cartridges extends the product
line with the finest phono cartridges available today.
The Oracle Audio Thalia phono cartridge is a high-output, moving-coil, ebony wood
bodied cartridge designed and voiced for the Oracle Audio Delphi MKV, Oracle Audio/
SME 345 and Oracle Audio/SME 5 tone arms and the Oracle Audio Temple PH 1000
phono stage. The Oracle Audio Corinth phono cartridge is a low-output cartridge
designed under the same parameters. Oracle Audio cartridges were designed to pick up
the warmth, detail and precision that you'd expect an Oracle to deliver. Now Oracle Audio
can complete the purest signal from the tip of the stylus right through the amplifier!
