JA Michell Turntable: Gyro SE w/ Rega RB300

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.

Features:

  • Spider chassis, suspended stable subchassis (pendulum)
  • 25 mm thick 4.5 kg massive black acrylic/vinyl platter of high inertia, with gold-plated brass weights
  • Inverted bearing
  • Custom armboards available for any tonearm
  • Manual speed change
  • High-quality DC motor
  • Stand-alone motor housing
  • Optional record clamp
  • Optional VC power supply
  • Optional Orbe-style platter and clamp system and/or subchassis damping
  • Many optional upgrades, can be made into a full GyroDec
  • Finished in silver
  • Dimensions: 49 x 37 cm

    Stereophile Recomended Component Vol. 23 No. 10
    "'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

    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.
