Please Note: Turntable does not include tonearm or cartridge.

The Michell Gyro has been in continuous development since its introduction in the early 1980s. Its journey has been defined by meticulous, incremental refinements, always aimed at maximising performance while strictly adhering to the original design ethos. This commitment has made its aesthetic iconic and its sonic quality legendary within high-end analogue playback.

This latest model represents the most dramatic step in that evolution. It is not a reinvention, but a comprehensive engineering overhaul that reimagines the internal architecture. This ground-up approach delivers significant leaps in performance, operational ease, and long-term reliability. The signature Gyro look remains, yet a closer examination and critical listening will confirm the scale of this truly new machine.

Key Features:

  • Solid 19mm aerospace-grade aluminium chassis with integrated brass counterweights
  • AI-modelled vibration control and structural optimisation
  • Precision tonearm coupling replaces Delrin spacers
  • Re-tuned suspension with 3.5Hz frequency and EquilibriaTM lateral damping
  • Aluminium baseplate replaces acrylic Spider frame
  • Large SorbothaneTM isolation feet
  • Smoother platter edge – belt groove removed for sleeker aesthetics
  • Motor pod and PSU redesigned with shielding, grounding, and electronic speed control
  • Inverted bearing now features double-helix oil pumping for 2× lubrication flow

A Redefined Chassis

At the core of this latest Gyro is a completely reworked main chassis. Unlike previous versions which utilised cast aluminum, this iteration features precision-machined, 19mm aerospace-grade aluminum tooling plate. This material shift provides unrivaled accuracy and rigidity, achieving a low resonance level previously considered unattainable.

Embedded, carefully calculated brass weights now help balance the tonearm assembly while effectively absorbing vibrational energy. Additionally, foam damping inserts are strategically placed around the tonearm mount. These inserts suppress internal reflections, ensuring the stylus/vinyl interaction remains pristine and fine musical details are not masked.

The Best Gyro Ever Made

This is the Gyro evolved—not merely in its technical performance, but in the emotional connection it forges with the listener. Every update was made with the singular purpose of allowing the music to come through with greater focus, energy, and engagement. The result is a turntable that feels truly alive, inviting owners to slow down, listen deeper, and fully lose themselves in the moment. It is simply the Gyro, delivering more of everything that made it beloved in the first place.

Precision Power, Perfect Isolation

The Gyro's motor system is meticulously engineered for absolute stability and silence. Its heavy, freestanding motor housing operates completely independently from the turntable chassis; the drive belt is the only connection. This crucial physical separation dramatically reduces the transfer of motor vibration to the sensitive playback components, ensuring musical detail and clarity are fully preserved.

Both the motor unit and its dedicated power supply are precision-machined from solid billets of aerospace-grade aluminum. This process forms exceptionally rigid enclosures with minimal gaps, effectively blocking unwanted RF interference. The entire system is also fully grounded and connected via a shielded interconnect, guaranteeing a pristine signal path and outstanding audio purity.

We endeavour to despatch same day for orders placed up to 1pm on available stock items (items with stock message "Usually dispatched within 24 hours").
