Michell Orbe SE Turntable
$5,995.
$5,995.00 Orbe SE with Never-Connected PSU w/o Arm
Based on the ever popular Gyro SE, the Orbe SE is Michell’s flagship turntable. It improves upon the Gyro in a number of areas. It employs a similar European-made DC motor housed in a significantly heavier bronze and aluminum housing, with the addition of a tachometer feedback signal that is sent to the NC Tacho power supply. Using this signal, this larger power supply constantly adjusts the motor speed in real time for rock solid speed stability under varying environmental or loading conditions such as caused by stylus drag for instance. Additionally the NC Tacho power supply uses patented Never Connected circuitry which totally breaks the conduction path from AC mains pollution, preventing unwanted contamination of the DC voltage that is fed to the motor. The sound improvement is stunning. Like the Gyro SE, the massive acrylic platter has most of its weight distributed at its periphery and uses a screw down clamp for more precise clamping of the LP. The cast aluminum chassis is damped with Michell’s DensoDamp compound to reduce ringing. Finally, the Orbe SE rests on a second spider that is de-coupled from the first via three single point contacts.
