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

Just got back into analog after a 34 years absence. TT is a Michell Engineering GyroDec (not the SE, full plinth/cover version) with an SME IV and Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony cartridge. I have no comparison with other TT setups. However, to my ears this TT setup not only looks spectacular, it also sounds wonderful. I am having fun with HiFi all over again and am amazed how good modern vinyl pressing are compared with what I had 34 years ago. HiFi News are running a small article about my setup in the April issue. For more information, see my previous Audiogon post on getting back into vinyl:

I am also very happy to report Michell Engineering customer service is excellent.
