High end Dual

Does anyone remember that mid 80's attempt by Dual to compete with the sota at that time? I bought this 3 hung sprung Dual in gloss piano black for a grand which I returned after a couple days,... complete garbage. 3 pods housing the suspension kinda like an Oracle. I don't remember the model and I can't find it anywhere on the net.
Anyone?

Maybe it was an Oracle! All I remember was the 5000 effort.

Sounds to me like an Oracle Alexandria

Not an Oracle. Definitely Dual. I bought one of the 2 first Oracle tables in '78. The name tag read 'Alexandria', later to be renamed the Delphi by virtue of 2nd gen with some small novel changes. I replaced that Dual with an Oracle Paris, also costing a grand. It otoh, is a great table.
