Since I am an Oracle owner let me chime in here.
Compared to my RX-5000 or Sp-10 Mk2 the Oracle gives nothing away in bass performance as far as I can hear. What I can say is that the Oracle is leaner on the lower registers because it might just be more accurate. Reminds me of Quad 63's in the bass area - fast / accurate / realistic / lacking in quantity not quality. No mid bass emphasis here, just clean low end. Reminds me of why the Linn was so popular in the 80's until everyone realized how colored it really was in the mid bass area.
I put a Grandezza arm on the Oracle with a ZYX UNIverse. Now you have a deck and cart that have the reputation of being lean in the bass department. And it can be so if the cart loading is not optimal, but when everything is set up properly, I am almost embarrassed by both the quality of bass as well as the amount.
Oracle is one of the most accurate and musical deck out there - a great buy and you won't see mine up on "Gon for sale; period - and those that know me can testify to how fickle I am!!!!!!!!!!
