That's a Gryo SE MkII, not a GyroDec. GyroDecs have a large acrylic plinth around them.

Not apparently, it really does sound better than it should for the money!

Chuck.......That is a fine looking turntable. I have admired this turntable a number of times, and the price you quoted includes the Rega RB300 tonarm. Nice deal.

I got to see one in person and hear it about 7 months ago. I can't remember right now though what cartridge the owner had installed at the time.

It sounded very nice.

I also like that Creek TT you posted earlier.

Here's mine complete with SME V. The Michell Gyro was designed using the SME V and was exhibited by John Michell at shows with this arm.



It sounds even better than it looks. I have no desire or need to upgrade from this table.

David, I know this thread is about getting you a TT, but I want one of those JA Michell's real bad.

Looks great Puma Cat!

Stephen.......Wow! After seeing your Mitchell Gyro SE turntable with the incredible SME V tonearm, I'm just like Chuck. I want one, too. Gorgeous. How do you like the Shelter 501 MkII moving coil cartridge. Looking at its specs, it has a decent 0.5 mV output, and tracks at under 2 grams. The stated frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz +/-2dB is remarkable for a cartridge in this price range.
