In life we are always presented with choice and I feel i took the right one. I owned a Clearaudio performance DC and then upgraded to Gyro SE which I still own. Then i heard the GAE at Fidelis Audio in NH and completely fell in love with it. I bought it right away and rushed home to install. I'm using Ortofon Cadenza Black MC cartridge right now on the technics and a Lyra Delos on the Gyro. I am also using a Record weight with the GAE. After a year of side by side use i've come to the conclusion that I will put for sale my Gyro SE since it is not used as often. every time i get a new record or want to enjoy one of the best for my collection the GAE is the indisputable choice. I Agree with the other owners in the forum about the build quality and sound. I just don't feel the itch of upgrading anymore with this TT. Speed control is also way better than the Clearaudio and Gyro. I don't think i will ever sell my GAE. I might get another turntable to replace the Gyro eventually but the Technics will stay with me forever
