- 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

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

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-171A
Allow the musical character within the groove to truly breathe
PD-171 has been a highly regarded analogue player in the market due to its ability to convey the sense of musical depth and feeling of vinyl records. There are two new revisions, an armless type, the PD-171AL, and the PD-171A, with a universal tone arm, adjustable to the users requirements and systems. At the heart of these models is a newly developed, high output power supply circuit and an AC synchronous motor. We have incorporated ideas developed for our audio amplifiers and have adopted a belt drive system which rotates a high inertia, heavyweight turntable. A high quality hairline finished aluminum upper surface blends beautifully with the wooden base cabinet to conceal the robust and accurate machinery within, developing a warmer and softer personality with whom the listener may spend many hours of enjoyment, expressing the true personality of analogue recordings.
