Oracle Audio Turntables are high-end turntables made by Oracle Audio in Canada. The company was founded in 1979 in Quebec and quickly gained a reputation for producing some of the most refined and precise turntables in the world. Oracle turntables are known for their exceptional build quality, cutting-edge engineering, and aesthetic design, blending modern and traditional craftsmanship.
All Oracle turntables are designed and manufactured in Canada. The company itself is based in Sherbrooke, Quebec where each turntable is carefully hand-assembled and tested to meet the highest standards.
Oracle focuses on minimizing vibrations and maximizing sound fidelity, their turntables feature suspended sub-chassis designs, which isolate the platter and tonearm from external vibrations, and use only high-quality materials like aluminum, acrylic, and precision bearings to ensure long-term stability and performance
Notable Models from Oracle include:
-
- Oracle Delphi – Their flagship model, introduced in 1979 and now in its Mk VI version, is considered one of the finest turntables ever made.
- Oracle Paris – A more compact and affordable model, designed to deliver high performance with a smaller footprint.
- Oracle Origine Mk II – A more entry-level turntable that retains Oracle’s design DNA while being more accessible.
Oracle turntables are known for their sleek, minimalist designs with acrylic and brushed metal finishes and are known for their upgradeability — with many older models able to be brought up to current specifications with factory support. Oracle also produces high-end tonearms, cartridges, and other accessories to complement their turntables.
There are many famous names in the world of turntables such as Linn, Luxman, and Project Audio but Oracle Audio turntables have quite a devoted following among audiophiles and are regarded as one of the premier names in analog audio. The Delphi, in particular, is often mentioned in discussions of the greatest turntables of all time.
