Upgrade options from Michell Gyro SE

not sure what sunnyboy is talking about. The SE version is a Gerodec without the acrylic base & cover. Otherwise everything is the same. Not suer if you are looking to upgrade to a different table all together or just wanting to upgrade some parts of the table. If you intend to keep the Gyro SE, you may want to check out some of the upgrades offer by Michell, like the record clamp, power supply, or the spindle & platter. These basically make your table more like the Orbe SE. Gert Petersen offers aftermarket mods. He has a following with some Gyro/Orbe users. And maybe going to an SME IV.Vi or V arm?

I started analog looking at the Gyro SE. After doing all the research, I knew I would end up adding all those upgrades. So Iended up buying an Orbe SE instead w/ SME V arm and a Shelter 901.

By the way, Michell tables were developed using SME arms.

Sunnyboy,

Thanks for the tip on using the cotton on the springs. I will have to try that. I wanted to try the Pedersen upgrade, but was not comfortable about the idea that I would not be able to "undo" the upgrade if I don't like the sound.

As stated earlier, the opinions on the Pedersen upgrade seem to be very polarized. I think I will just get the armboard upgrade and do the cotton tweak and call it a day.
