J. A. MICHELL ENGINEERING LTD

South West Analogue can supply the J. A. Michell Engineering urntables which are a favourite world wide for their aesthetics and wonderful sound. Michell Eng. was founded in the late sixties by the late John Michell a true gentleman, sorely missed by everyone who knew him.

The Gyrodec was a landmark audio product, using new materials this took suspended sub-chassis turntables to a new level, that it is still in production is a testament to its design. The Gyrodec`s success led to the bigger and heavier Orbe, which again has been a major success for the company.

Recent developments are the lower cost (less acrylic/no dust cover) skeletal or SE versions of both turntables and the adoption of a high quality DC motor with its H.R. power supply. Older turntables can be upgraded, including fitting the DC motor and supply. A recent introduction to the range is the TechnoDec, a solid plinth attractive entry level Gyrodec.

The value for money Rega RB300 tone-arm is a good introduction to Michell ownership before moving up to the excellent SME range, with the superb new "M2" being an ideal first choice. The South West Analogue acrylic lift off covers are available for SE models
