Michell Gyro SE:anybody bought an Orbe platter?

Badboss429,
I also have an Orbe SE + SME V + Shelter 901, and I agree with Nameci's findings. I had originally intended to buy the Gryo and Origin Live fully modded Rega arms to get me started in vinyl, then eventually upgrade the platter. I have listened to the Gyro extensively both at dealers, and also at several audiophile friends' places before and after purchasing my Orbe 4 years ago.

Nameci,
How do you tell whether the motor on the Orbe is a DC Motor with VC Tacho motor control or something else?

Nameci,

Thanks for the info. I took a closer look at the motor itself last night, and there's a gold circular plate on the motor housing that says "VC" motor.
