Michell Audio GyroDec Turntable

By separating the motor from the main chassis, the GyroDec prevents mechanical vibrations and electrical noise from reaching the platter and tonearm. This isolation ensures that only the music from the record groove is amplified, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed soundstage.

Once the turntable is properly leveled and the suspension is tuned during initial setup, it remains quite stable. While you may need to check it if you move the unit, it is designed to maintain its calibration reliably under normal listening conditions.

This bearing design uses a unique oil-pumping mechanism that ensures the spindle is constantly lubricated while it rotates. This reduces friction to a minimum, allowing for exceptionally smooth, consistent platter rotation that improves speed stability.

The GyroDec Reference comes equipped with the Michell T8 tonearm, so it is ready for cartridge installation and playback out of the box.

The brass weights are strategically placed to increase the platter's mass and inertia. This impedance-matched design helps maintain consistent speed and dampens unwanted resonances, leading to a more neutral and accurate reproduction of your vinyl.

While the GyroDec is a high-end piece of equipment, the setup is straightforward if you follow the manual carefully. It is a manual turntable, so you will need to be comfortable with balancing the tonearm and setting the tracking force, but it is well within the capabilities of a dedicated enthusiast.
