John,
Delta 3200 can be quite nice, with relatively little grain, but
it requires a delicate touch. Negs seem to be best when thin
(IMO, based on minimal experience), and the choice of developer
seems to be quite important as well. I've only used Ilfotec
DD-X based on everything I'd read about processing the film.
Thus far my results have been OK, but I'm still learning this
combination.
What was your EI? How was the light? What
time/temp/developer/dilution did the lab use? I suppose the lab
made the prints as well, or did you just scan the negs for
output on your printer?

That's fine with me. No need to bring any vinyl as I don't have
my turntable set up. But bring some CDs and we can enjoy
those. Which single malts do you prefer?
