Oracle Audio Paris MkV Turntable

The Oracle Audio Paris MkV is a spring-suspension turntable that delivers exceptional isolation through fiberglass leaf springs, the same material used in high-performance automotive suspensions like those in Corvettes. Available in six stunning piano finishes, the Paris offers a gateway to Oracle's renowned engineering at an accessible price point, with options to configure power supply and tonearm to match your needs.

Please Note: Oracle turntables are custom-built to order in Canada. Typical lead time is 8-12 weeks depending on configuration.

About Oracle Audio

Based in Quebec, Canada, Oracle Audio has been engineering precision turntables since 1979. Their founder, Jacques Riendeau, developed the fiberglass leaf spring suspension system that became Oracle's signature technology. Every Oracle turntable is hand-assembled and tested in their Canadian facility, with a focus on mechanical isolation, build quality, and long-term reliability.

Paris MkV Suspension Design

The Paris MkV uses a three-point fiberglass leaf spring suspension system. Unlike coil springs or elastomer suspensions, fiberglass leaf springs provide consistent compliance across a wide temperature range and do not fatigue over time. Each spring is precision-tuned to support the subchassis and platter assembly, isolating the stylus from footfall, airborne vibrations, and motor noise. The suspension is factory-set but can be adjusted for different tonearm weights.

Six Piano Finish Colors

The Paris MkV is available in six piano lacquer finishes: Black, Red, Blue, Titanium Grey, Yellow, and White. Each finish is hand-applied and polished to a deep, reflective shine. The piano lacquer process involves multiple coats and extended curing times, giving the Paris its distinctive premium appearance while protecting the acrylic plinth.

Power Supply Options

The Paris MkV is available with two power supply options. The Standard power supply provides reliable 33-1/3 and 45 RPM operation with manual speed change. The Turbo power supply upgrade adds enhanced voltage regulation, lower noise, and improved speed stability, resulting in tighter bass and more defined transients. The Turbo PSU is recommended for demanding cartridge and phono preamp combinations where power supply noise can become audible.

Oracle Paris Tonearm

The Paris can be ordered with or without Oracle's Paris carbon-fiber tonearm. The Paris arm features a one-piece carbon-fiber armtube, precision bearings, and a simple but effective VTA adjustment. It is factory-mounted and aligned when ordered with the turntable. Customers who prefer a different tonearm can order the Paris without an arm and have their preferred arm mounted to the pre-cut armboard (standard 9" mount).

Dust Cover

A hinged clear acrylic dust cover with aluminum hinges is available as a separate accessory. The dust cover lifts up and back to provide full access to the platter and tonearm during use. See our Oracle Dust Cover listings for pricing and compatibility.
