I owned an Oracle I with II suspension and many mods with an Alphason arm for years. For the last 2 years, using an Oracle IV SE, changed the bearing bottom to Mk V, using with a Graham 2.2t arm installed on a Delrin disc. Very fussy to set up, but once set.. very stable. Changing the belt especially frustrating. Love the sound. I can't see using a no suspension table unless a lot of effort is spent on isolation. I suspect some of the comments on soft bass may be the SME arms.
