Actually I was thinking about selling some of my SOTA Star tables and other decks I have and getting higher up the SOTA food chain.Damn Darell Now there's a system worthy of an MT10 if I ever saw one. Wow that's some serious eye candy

No. Unfortunately, I pissed that money away on food and insurance.The important question is ....did you buy one?
What a wast, you know better we're supposed to save save save, not piss it away.No. Unfortunately, I pissed that money away on food and insurance.
What are the two cylindrical devices next to the Michell? I have always wanted a Michell TT.My Michell Gyro SE looks good on top of Mac equipment.
I bought the MT10 3 years ago and recently replaced the Cartridge with Ortofon Cadenza Black...surely enjoying it everyday! View attachment 887495
Those are SOTA Phono Head Amps Designed by John Curl, lots of info on them here.What are the two cylindrical devices next to the Michell? I have always wanted a Michell TT.
I was at my dealer last week getting a demo of the Revel Salon 2 (more on that drool session later) and we were using his MT10. I can tell you that the meter on the front is NOT a real time speed indicator - it's only able to tell you if you are on 33, 45 or 78. We noticed that the pitch was fast on 33 so he had to get out the tiny screwdriver to turn the screw in the back. It had no effect on the meter.

Perhaps it's just not possible to see the difference in the meter when making small changes in the pitch. Fair enough then.

Michell tables have always been built to high standards and always known to have a modern timeless look. The Gyro's where designed I think around 1982, this Focus one was designed and built in 1979.I'm liking the look of some of those JA Mitchell tables. How's the build quality?
Heres a thread of mine that has a step by step photographic setup of my Gyro SE.I'm liking the look of some of those JA Mitchell tables. How's the build quality?

The Gyro's don't cost that much, they are cheaper than a SOTA Star when buying new full retail.Thanks for posting that. I like the fact that it doesn't look like a common turntable (that's what's attracting me to some of the VPI tables). A cool mechanical, futuristic look that is high quality. Unfortunately, some of the tables that I like best are $30,000+ I'm willing to pay up a little, but that's out of my range.
It would be cheaper to buy small CNC machine and design one myself. Lol.
Dan - looks like you've got like one turntable for every 3,000 records now!The Gyro's don't cost that much, they are cheaper than a SOTA Star when buying new full retail.
Skipping some small things a silver Gyro cost new.
Tabel $2700
Arm board $125
Technoarm $1100
Black ones and the other components cost a bit more and are usually not in stock and have to be ordered.
ha ha ha, no sir, just a 1000 records per table...Dan - looks like you've got like one turntable for every 3,000 records now!
