Overview

The Michell Gyro keeps the look of the Gyrodec and Gyro SE, but Michell describes it as a ground-up engineering update rather than a new design. The main chassis is now machined from 19mm aerospace-grade aluminium plate instead of cast aluminium, and an aluminium baseplate replaces the old acrylic Spider frame. Brass counterweights are built into the chassis to balance the tonearm, and the suspension has been re-tuned to 3.5Hz with lateral damping.

The motor sits in its own freestanding housing and touches the turntable only through the drive belt. The housing and its matching power supply are machined from solid aluminium and shielded, with electronic speed control. The inverted bearing now has double-helix oil pumping, which Michell says doubles the lubrication flow, and the platter edge is smoother because the belt groove has gone.

It suits anyone who wants a suspended, belt-drive deck with the classic Michell look and up-to-date engineering. The Gyro is supplied without a tonearm or cartridge, so you can choose the combination that suits your system and budget. Come and hear it in our Huddersfield demonstration room and we can talk through the right arm and cartridge.

Michell extends the warranty on the turntable and its power supply to five years when the turntable is registered within 28 days of purchase. The extended cover applies to products sold in the UK and doesn't include tonearms, cartridges or accessories.
