After much consideration I've decided that my next turntable will be the Oracle Paris Mk V.
Here is the manual with plenty of pics and descriptions.
I'm ordering it with the Oracle/Pro-ject 9cc carbon fiber tonearm, which is upgradeable to the Oracle/SME should I choose to do so down the road. It's not in the budget at the moment. I've not yet decided on the cartridge although I'm very very close.
I also just received an email from Jacques Riendeau of Oracle to say that a new phono stage will be available in March and will list for under $1,000. The current PH 200 lists for $1875, which is a bit much for me.
I hope to order it this coming weekend or the one after that as I've received a wonderful discount from the same dealer I met 25 years ago and bought my Revolver Red and McIntosh 2505 Integrated Amp from.
