Oracle Delphi MK IV - Delrin Pillars Anyone?

Oracle sells the MKV Delrin pillar as an upgrade to the aluminum pillars used in previous models at a cost of $95. The pillars are not seen as they are inside the aluminum pillar cover and are approx. 1/2" diameter and 3" long. They do however support the subframe as the suspension springs are hung from the pillars.

My guess is that the theory is that the Delrin will not transmit sound into the subframe as readily as the aluminum versions will. Make sense??

I own the Delphi MKV SE. I am in a positon to comment on the changes as I made this upgrade on my MKV which came with the steel pillars. As I recall, The improvement in sound was musically significant: quieter and blacker background, which allowed more musical details to emerge from the recording

Rbatsch,

Remember - Aluminium have a 'ring' factor - like a bell. Delrin is 'dead-sounding' and more-or-less cannot accumilate standing waves.

Delrin will be better...
