Turntables: Michell Gyrodec SE vs. VPI Scoutmaster
I am considering buying a Michell Gyrodec SE or a VPI Scoutmaster turntable. Can anyone tell me which table they prefer or should I be considering another table in the same price range (around $2000 - $2500 used)? Thanks
I owned a Gyro SE with an Origin Live Rega 250 and thought it performed better than my previous Aries with JMW 10 arm. Of course the Scoutmaster is an updated version of the Aries and I haven't tried it.
I recently purchased a used Gyrodec SE with the stock Michell tone arm (not techno arm). I matched with a van den hul frog cartridge and purchased the vta adjustment for rega arms. Last tweak was an incognito arm rewire. The final combination has been very pleasing to me. I am still learning about adjustments, but compared to my old Dual or Denon direct drive TT, the sound is exceptional. I now am thinking about the orbe!!! Does the upgrade bug ever stop?
