Based entirely on the GyroDec, but without the costly acrylic plinth and dustcover, the Gyro SE brings the same qualities in a more affordable and compact package. A Michell Gyro SE can always be converted into a GyroDec by purchasing a plinth and dustcover.
Gyro SE - Spider Edition Take the classic Michell GyroDec. Eliminate from it the large amounts of luxurious perspex, which do not directly contribute to sound quality. Pass on 60% of these savings to the customer. Use the remainder for implementing a few strategic improvements to the rudimentary turntable that remains. And see, there's the Michell Gyro SE: a smaller and cheaper package that still offers all of the GyroDec's classy sound, even bettering older GyroDecs up to MkIII versions (when used with the optional clamp). A Gyro SE can always be upgraded to a GyroDec by purchasing a plinth and dustcover.
Stereophile Recommended Component April 2003 Class B $$$ "...'I've always found spring suspended turntables sound more plush than non-suspended rigs, and the Michell didn't disappoint,' averred MF. This 'table sounded slightly warm, but bass extension and control were 'very good,' he reported, 'with just a slight midbass bloom that never obscured fundamentals or transients' and a 'fine sense of rythm and pacing.' Luscious, airy mids, good image focus and soundstaging. 'Very accomplished and, more imporant, well balanced with no serious sonic blemishes.'" Reviewed in Issue Vol. 23, No.s 7 & 10
Positive Feedback Michell Gyrodec SE Mk. II By Brad Morrical, 2003 "...With a naturally balanced cartridge, I have not heard reproduced music sounding closer to live than through the Gyrodec. I don't see the need to spend more on a turntable, even after hearing the big boys at various high end shows. This turntable is designed to provide long-term satisfaction, and is most highly recommended."
