Yes, found the Dorian was a tad too bright. But haven't tried it since the addition of the Oyaide mat/weight, so, when in the mood will give it a try.

Oracle Delphi mk4
SME Model 20

I always thought the Oracle is a stunning deck, Neil. How do they compare?

Hi MartinOriginally Posted by MartinT
Very different to each other. The Oracle is open and airy while the SME 20 with the Graham on it is more weighty with better bass than the Oracle but lacks the magical delicacy of the Delphi. Overall though I would have to say the SME is the better (as an all rounder) deck but only just.
