Oracle Alexandria Reviews, tests, etc.

Postby CF-105 » 09 May 2012 01:29

I've been trying to dig up reviews of the Oracle Alexandria, but have not had much luck. Magazine reviews that is. Or tests. There were apparently a few in the British press, but I haven't found them yet.

Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks!

Thanks guys.

I did see that one test. There should be tons more on the Mk 1 and 2, but can't find those anywhere.

There are two that I know of, presumably both for the Mk 1:

New Hi Fi Sound, June 1984, pp.61-63 (by Davie Prakel)
Hi-Fi Today, January 1984, pp.?? (by Dave Berriman)

But I guess these are not available online...

I think that Stan Curtis did a review of it in Hi-Fi Choice magazine.

I actually got a really nice email from Stan. What a nice gent. He didn't recall much about that review, except that he bought the Alexandria when it was done.
