With the risk of being extremely controversial , I used to own a GyrOrbe (a gyro with HR PSU and Orbe Massive platter + SME 309 + Lyra Clavis) for the best part of 3 years.
It was great at soundstaging for sure, but I did find the whole deck dull IMHO... And that was regardless of phonostage used... (Whest, Slee, Icon Audio, Croft, etc...). It never got me fully ENGAGED in the music, there was always something nagging about the suspension, the tension on the belt, etc...
The day I got a techie, all my doubts and angst about vinyl were gone...
Over the last year I have added Isonoe, taken PSU out, got Mike New bearing, upgraded platter (from Inspire), rewired the techie tonearm.
I never looked back at the GyrOrbe...
I am in NO WAY saying that the Gyro isn't a good deck, because it is actually a fantastic piece of engineering, and a great deck. BUT
It will not be to everybody's taste (certainly wasn't to mine ). And It doesn't come cheap...
So, demo it, listen to to both decks it in different combo before making the big leap...
