Cheap upgrade for michell gyro

[gwernaffield]

Hi Peter.
Here’s a brief email about my recent turntable changes and tweaks.

Please bear with me as I’m not a big “audiophile speak” person.

Last year my turntable from a gyro se to an Orbe SE-r. .
The change was obviously immense.
Then I changed the pylons for the solidair ones. I was instantly impressed. Bass was bigger, more thwack, soundstage wider and deeper.
Then I got new hifi racks so I could run both turntables side by side.

While the Orbe is a bigger more powerful sound I always loved the speed and fun of the gyro.
I decided to upgrade the pylons on the gyro because of the improvements I got when I did on the Orbe.
I’ve always loved handmade/artisan or bespoke products, when I saw you making pylons I thought I’d give them a try.
To be honest I was put off when I had to measure the hole sizes…. Not only could I not use a ruler I had to borrow a bloody engineering tool. ����
Anyway…. I did and they arrived. Spot on fit.

Now here the thing… the changes in the gyro were huge. Far bigger than I got on the Orbe.
Before the sound between the two was always black and white. As it should be the Orbe and it’s bits being about 4-5times the cost.
When I put your pylons on it narrowed the gap by a lot…. So much so I was pxxxxd off that they weren’t as night/day now… the Orbe was still far better but the huge gap between the two had gone.
I decided to order another set of yours and see what would happen.
All I can tell you is the difference between the solidair ones and yours is massive.
Everything again is bigger wider deeper, more snap on bass notes.
The gap between the 2 turntables has been restored. It’s back to night/day…. It has to be your pylons… 100%.
I’m so pleased with them… you definitely know your stuff and I’d consider them an essential part of any Michell turntable.
I’m not going to rubbish the solidair ones, I was pleased with what they did, BUT…. I have to say yours blow them out of the xxxxxxxx water..

Thanks again.
Kind regards Gary. Orbe se-r owner ,,,,
