MICHELL Engineering GyroDec
The classic Michell turntable, continuously refined during many years of development to the current level of performance. The Michell GyroDec is a three-point spring-suspended turntable of medium mass, which is compatible with most quality tone arms in existence. Earlier GyroDecs can always be brought up to present spec, and every modern GyroDec can be upgraded to almost the status of the mighty Orbe.
- Single acrylic chassis, aluminium suspended subchassis with stabilized operation and internally isolated suspension turrets
- Impedance-matched acrylic/vinyl platter, with brass weights for high inertia
- Record clamp
- Oil-pumping inverted bearing
- Custom arm boards available for most tonearms
- High-quality standalone DC motor
- Optional HR power supply
- Optional upgrade to Orbe-style platter and clamp
- Finished in clear acrylic with aluminium metal parts 2500 Euro
- Finished with black acrylic plinth with all black or black/gold anodised metal parts 2700 Euro
Weight 14 kg
Dimensions 53 (w) x 41 (d) x 19 (h) cms

MICHELL Engineering Orbe SE
By eliminating much of the expensive acrylic, the Michell Orbe SE offers most of the Orbe’s qualities in a cheaper, smaller, and to some people aesthetically more pleasing package. An Orbe SE can always be upgraded to a full Orbe by purchasing the double plinth and dustcover. When teamed with an RB250 or RB300 tonearm, the Orbe SE is a surprisingly affordable entry to the Orbe-class of performance.
- Spider double chassis, suspended pendulum subchassis
- Damped subchassis
- 60 mm thick massive acrylic/vinyl platter of high inertia
- Screw-down record clamp
- Inverted bearing
- Custom arm boards available for most tonearms
- High-quality standalone DC motor with tacho feedback speed control
- Orbe Controller NC supply with Never-Connected circuit
- Optional dust cover
- Finished in black or clear acrylic with black metal parts
Weight 13.5 kg
Dimensions 49 (w) x 37.5 (d) x 15 (h) cms
MICHELL Engineering Gyro SE
Based entirely on the GyroDec, but without the costly acrylic plinth and dustcover, the Gyro SE brings the same qualities in a more affordable and compact package. A Michell Gyro SE can always be converted into a GyroDec by purchasing a plinth and dustcover.
- Spider chassis, suspended stable subchassis
- Massive acrylic/vinyl platter of high inertia, with gold-plated brass weights
- Inverted oil-pumping bearing
- Custom arm boards available for most tonearms
- High-quality standalone DC motor
- Optional clamp
- Optional HR supply
- Optional Orbe-style platter and clamp
- Optional dust cover
- Finished in Silver 2000 Euro
- Finished in Black 2250 Euro
Weight 10 kg

LUXMAN DA-150
Desktop revolution – a new definition of D/A converter
The DA-150 is a state of the art, compact, USB D/A converter built upon the same principle as its predecessor, the DA-100, that is to construct a simple PC audio environment to offer high quality sound in a small footprint. Desktop usability and high sound quality co-exist perfectly within the design of the DA-150 with features such as compatibility with USBs inputting PCM 192 kHz/32 bits and DSD 5.64 MHz (like the upper model DA-250), a headphone amplifier circuit with remarkably improved drive force and the addition of the LECUA* computerized attenuator as standard. As a digital interface to connect with various devices to reproduce high-resolution sound sources, the DA-150 raises the benchmark for compact D/A converters.
REX 3 DAC
The BAT second-generation SuperPak is now standard
REX 3 now incorporates BAT’s second-generation SuperPak as standard. The SuperPak assembly features the largest energy storage ever offered by BAT in a preamp or source component. One must admire the SuperPak in BAT’s reference VK-655SE solid-state power amplifier to find a SuperPak assembly of comparable energy storage. REX 3 DAC’s SuperPak dramatically adds to the dynamic performance of the component by extending the bass and offering greater midrange authority.

ARCAM irDAC-II USB DAC
Arcam re-entered the audio DAC market with the introduction of the rDAC a few years ago. This concept was not new to Arcam as we were the first company to launch an outboard DAC way back in 1987. Building on the rDAC’s success and incorporating feedback from enthusiastic rDAC owners it was clear that our engineering team could produce an enhanced design that would raise the performance bar and improve ease of use by a significant margin over the rDAC. This was followed and further improved upon with the irDAC.
LUXMAN PD-171AL
Arrival of armless type, pursuing possibility of analog reproduction
Since the introduction of PD-171 into the market in 2011, which has been highly admired as an analog player that delivers the temperature sense and atmosphere sense of sound put into a phonograph record, and now the longed-for armless type has arrived. Highly evaluated physical characteristics of PD-171 such as high-rigid main chassis and heavy turntable securing stable rotation are inherited, and the mechanisms of the motor, drive circuit, and bearing section have been improved for further accuracy. PD-171AL is an analog player, and an audio component that the user can customize to allow for enjoying sound change. Setting PD-171AL to an armless type allows the user to appreciate analog reproduction more deeply.
