Chances are, you have seen a Michell GyroDec turntable before. The iconic turntable from the 1980s, with its spinning brass weights in a suspended design and distinctive engineering remains, even today, a hallmark of British turntable design. You've probably seen it in films. At trade shows or in magazines. Steve Jobs had one.

The classic Michell GyroDec has been in production since the 1980s, but nearly every element has been redesigned to a more sophisticated level over the years. The model we have on test here is the Michell Gyro SE. 'SE' Stands for 'Spider Edition' and instead of the full-sized, rectangular plinth design seen in the standard GyroDec, this more compact and more affordable Gyro SE uses a three-point acrylic 'spider' plinth to support the sub-chassis.
