Michell Engineering TT users; Orbe or Gyro why Excellent over all of the rest?


Michelle Orbe or Gyro TT users: WHY? What makes it so good in your ears? What do you hear that others do not or is it just cool looking? 

PS: We know its not just cool looking but try and explain your experience with it from sound to support from factory

Either an SME 309, or IV. Do that table justice. 

Stay away from SME V tonearms on eBay from Hong Kong. They are fake.
i have just done an upgrade for these turntable the spring has been replaced by independent o-rings there are reviews on AOS and wam in the uk , The deck has so much  more to give and does when these are fittedbetter sound stage , the difference you will get will have you playing all you record collection again ,and no they are not made of string and wood, they are an engineering solution made from delrin by an ex aerospace engineer

Hi guys

I have the MK2 gyrodec since 1988 with the old indestructible Papst motor operating in AC voltage, this year I have spent 30 years living with me.

It is simple to configure and the calibrations stay with the passage of time; over the years I have made all the upgrades available through different power supplies until the replacement of the platter (I did not want the Orbe platter because aesthetically unpleasant) of the pin and "uni point" suspension, and always the money spent has made audible improvements.
Moreover, in 30 years, I have developed several ideas making some very important and useful improvements with which many owners have copied them using them:
replacing the plinth in plexiglass with another of greater thickness,
made some improvements to the frame that is slightly resonant by applying some sheets of blue tac,
prepared the possibility of using a tonearm box to use any signal cable.
Replaced small and thin original engine cover with another heavier, complete and pleasing to the eye.

I use 2 tonearms at the same time.
It will not be the perfect turntable with the best sound but the maximum for the simplicity with which it is assembled.
