| Upgrade options from Michell Gyro SE I thought my comments were perfectly clear - the movement from a SE to a Gyrodec( and not Gerodec!) is an upgrade.It has little sonic benefits coz you add an acrylic dustcover plus a superior record clamp. If like many Gyro owners you prefer to sp... | |
| Upgrade options from Michell Gyro SE Upgraded from the Gyro SE to a Gyrodec. This is more of an aesthetic upgrade given the acrylic dustcover.The superior record clamp does add a sonic dimension.Seriously though the HR Power Supply makes a huge difference.The Orbe platter is also rat... | |
| Clearaudio Bluemotion Had a Clearaudio Emotion for nearly 3 years before it made way for a Gyrodec. The Emotion is not nearly as good looking as the Bluemotion. The only quibble I had was with the single screw mechanism that serves as the headshell and also adjusts azi... | |

| How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm?? I can't comment on the theory or why it works but I tried both options : namely using the dial counter on the base of the RB 300 ( its a tiny black dial) to set the VTF using the Expressimo only as a balancing counterweight.The second option which... | |

| Lyra Helikon and Phd owners please Hi Mark,Many thanks for all your help and advise. As I mentioned in an email, I not sure how a higher gain board will help given that the output of the Lyra is fixed at 0.5v(I checked the manual).A higher gain setting on the Phd will only make lif... | |
| Lyra Helikon and Phd owners please Hi Mark/All,Many thanks for all your advice/suggestions. Immediately after installing the Helikon, there was a big drop in gain. I had to crank the gain settings on the Phd to max, ie 60db. Currently(sic!) and I don't have any issues with loudness... | |

| Help Rega RB300 owners Many thanks. Have a RB1000 on order.Have limited choices given that any tonearm upgrade will need an armband etc. Have also ordered the special counter weight from Music Direct, Chicago. Shall implement the 2mm hex screw solution tonight and repor... | |
