Angeboten wird „Michell Gyro SE completo Braccio REGA RB 250“ von Michell Engineering als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler-Laufwerk“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 368803535 endet am 29.07.2026 um 10:50 Uhr.
At €2,990, this Michell Gyro SE is a genuine bargain compared to the obvious alternative: a new entry-level table like the Rega Planar 3 or Pro-Ject X2, which lack the Gyro’s legendary sapphire bearing and suspension. The asking price sits well below the typical used market; a complete Gyro SE with arm and cartridge recently sold for £2,495 (roughly €2,950), while new units now start around €4,490 without an arm and reached €5,290 originally. This listing is likely under the 25th percentile for used Gyro SEs in Europe, making it a strong deal.
The Gyro SE remains a benchmark for its crystalline detail, tight bass, and effortless trackability, thanks to Michell’s precision-machined chassis and isolated motor. Its sapphire bearing and belt-drive design deliver a quiet, stable platform that outperforms many modern tables at twice the price. If this is original-owner condition with the power supply and original accessories included, it’s a rare find at this price—buy it quickly before enthusiasts realize how far below market it sits.

Michell Engineering, a British hi-fi icon, traces its roots to 1966 when engineer John Michell founded the company in the UK, initially crafting scale models for films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and precision components for local firms. Building on an apprenticeship in the early 1950s, Michell's Borehamwood workshop soon expanded, taking on turntable parts for Transcriptor in 1969 and assuming full production of their Hydraulic Reference model by 1973. The pivotal 1977 launch of the Michell Reference Electronic Turntable marked its entry into audio, cementing a heritage of innovative engineering that persists today in a Hertfordshire facility.
The brand focuses squarely on high-end analog playback, renowned for precision turntables like the legendary GyroDec—first produced in 1982—and the flagship Orbe, alongside tonearms, cartridges, power supplies, and the iconic record clamp invented by John Michell. Every component, sourced from UK subcontractors except European motors, is hand-assembled with an emphasis on longevity and serviceability, shunning mass production for traditional craftsmanship.
Michell occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, cherished by vinyl enthusiasts for its unwavering British purity and refusal of overseas cost-cutting. Decades of refinement have earned it a cult following among discerning audiophiles, where GyroDec models remain staples, blending vintage appeal with modern upgrades for those prioritizing sonic authenticity over fleeting trends.
