The Oracle mechanical design concepts are always intimately linked to the overlapping of different materials interacting within a same assembly for an optimal control of vibrations and resonances. The Paris Mk V follows that same construction philosophy. Compared with the Delphi MK VI which has a very sophisticated full floating spring suspension and micro vibration stabiliser system, the Paris suspension is very efficient while being much simpler. It has been completely redesigned taking into account the findings that led to the development of the Delphi MK VI. The platter and tonearm are mounted on a semi floating chassis using a suspension made of fibreglass rods and sorbothane rings. The combination of these materials contributes to virtually eliminate the access of unwanted vibrations to the semi floating chassis where the platter, the tone arm and the phono cartridge are interacting. 

The Paris, by all means, is not an entry level turntable.  In fact, I think Paris sounds great !  It even has certain advantage over the Delphi MK VI.  Therefore, we have worked with Oracle Audio, and mount this Abis SA-1B CS (convertible geometry with silver wiring) on the Paris Mk V.

This combo does not only look good, but it sounds awesome !!  

From Oracle Audio: "We’ve listened to your Paris MkV this afternoon, I need say we’ve never heard the Paris play like this! This cartridge is just a marvel really, and the abyss does indeed bring a modern look to the Paris… and tracks easily and seamlessly… "
