FS: Michell Gyro SE with Full Orbe Upgrades & HR PSU

[dicy]

*****REDUCED*****


Hi All

I'm finally going to go for a classic deck (401 hopefully) so - very reluctantly - my lovely Michell set-up needs to go.

I bought this from a very well respected chap from The Wigwam a couple of years ago and it has performed superbly since. It is a current spec Gyro SE with the full Orbe upgrades:

Tecnoarm (This will be included)
Orbe Platter
The current top of the range HR Power supply unit.
Densodamp chassis damping
Arm de-coupling kit
Michell Orbe Clamp

I also have a Michell Unicover and a SME arm board (or whatever Michell call them) and even have the box. I also have a custom made full cover - this comprises a glass base and a Perspex lid that fits over the whole thing - the lid is a bit worn, I haven't ever used this myself as I bought the unicover which does a grand job!

It is in beautiful condition, there is a tiny (and I mean tiny) nick on the edge of the motor housing, but you cannot see it unless you are on top of the thing and squinting

It looks beautiful and sounds beautiful, everyone should own a Michell for at least a little while - the engineering is fantastic.

I'm looking for £1,150 and would hugely prefer collection from East Sussex. I would consider delivering within 30/40 miles or meeting part way - or I could transport up to Worcestershire for future collection next weekend.

I'm using the pic that previous sent me - but i'll take a few more when I get home tomorrow. (NB - No cart is included in the sale)

Reduced in price to £1,200

I really need to move this on, or I may miss out on a 401 - but I really can't afford to go much lower.

[dicy]

More pics added

[dicy]

Ok, my window of opportunity could be closing so reduced to:

£1,150 - but I really cannot go any lower than that.

[dicy]

If it seals a deal - I will include the Audiophile Base on which the Michell sits in my pics.

These are highly thought of and highly effective isolation platforms.

A lovely looking deck that I have always fancied. Unfortunately now is not the right time for me.

[dicy]

Still available - c'mon guys - this is a huge bargain

[Old boy]

What's the actual age of the dek ? Do you have all the original boxes and do you have the standard platter

Hi Ted
I'm not certain of the age, but I'm pretty sure that's its around 5 years old approx. - its certainly current spec.
I have the original box and packaging, but not the standard platter. However, these can be purchased quite cheaply used and just drops straight on to the deck.

[dicy]

You'd be welcome to pop over and have a listen

[dicy]

Final reduction
£1,100.00

[Gazjam]

[Gazjam]

[struth]

You got it Gary?

[Gazjam]

Picking it up at Owsten DIY meet this weekend Grant.

[struth]

Ah, yorky country...got a new TT coming mysel ...nothing grand like yours but will be my number 2, and getting a fire bottle as well. In fact its made and on test.

[Gazjam]

Spill....what you getting? :)

Last turntable I had was a Rega Planar 2/A&R C77 about 25 years ago, and I loved that.
Looking forward getting back into vinyl, will be a bit spendy - Have you seen the price of some of the classic albums on 180g vinyl???

Still need a phono stage and cart, so got my eyes on a Firebottle too down the line.
Heard the first version at a mate's and it sounded fantastic.
The second one is supposed to be even better

Even if I need to wait a bit before playing records, just having the Gyro on my rack will be good.
Happy with digital, just looking for something different. :)

You getting back into vinyl after some time away Grant?

[struth]

Have an SRM AREZZO and getting a PRO-JECT CARBON ESPRIT SB . should be here b4 the firebottle. Alan has tweaked it to my desires..great guy!
Got lots of vinyl if you want a loan of stuff till you get a collection going. Boxes of the stuff.

[Gazjam]

Have an SRM AREZZO and getting a PRO-JECT CARBON ESPRIT SB . should be here b4 the firebottle. Alan has tweaked it to my desires..great guy!

Wouldn't say no to some loaner vinyl Grant. :)
Not got much, been picking up odds n sods from Charity shops.

That SRM looks gorgeous, needs a backlight to show off all that perspex!
Project looks good, what colour you getting?

[struth]

RED it is...just came this pm. Not got it unpacked yet. Alan has made the firebottle plus special and its on extended test. He said hes delighted with it.
Your not far away so pop over and get some or pick some from my lists and ill post them

[Ali Tait]

Is that a two box phono Grant?

[struth]

No just one and a standard block psu for me anyways. I intend it to go in my main system with the arezzo eventually

[struth]

Just trying out my new phone here. It's good. Does that slidey writing lol

[Ali Tait]

What mods did you request?

Alan built me a two box version with Takman resistors and Mundorf ZN caps.

It's also both single ended and balanced in and outputs.

[struth]

it apparently has his new circuitry inside and he has given me extra mm gain through the mc switch, which can be reversed too.cant wait for delivery tbh.if it impressed him it must be good

[Ali Tait]

Cool. Maybe we could compare them sometime, maybe at the next Scottish Mafia board meeting?

[Gazjam]

Should be good that.

Grant, be nice to pop over meet in person.
PM me your details, thanks mate.
