i have a delphi III. it had some noted improvements over the II. soundstage
and suspension. Admittedly i am not tooooo familiar with the II, but I
know that the III is the model that put oracle on the map again.

I have seen the IV and listened to it and i prefer the III.
	-the platter is HARD plastic not the sticky rubber mat that
	 oracle used to claim was imperitive
	-the screw-down clamp _much_ heavier. i really do not knwo why this is
	 because the screw is the clamping device, not the weight. i
	 guess the center of mass is , ummmmm centered.
	-the finish is no longer the brushed aluminum but some kinda 
	 gold/brass colour. looks very cheap in my eye.
	-the sound seemed very cold. detail was there, and soundstage
	 was okay,,, but i just did not feel good about it. (spectral
	 amps, MIT cables, logan speakers and duntech speakers.
