SME V tone arm advice

But @best-groove it sounds so much better -- and as to "distorts the Michell Project" (whatever that means, I met John back in the day and I'm sure he'd be good which whatever you want to do with his baby) not sure what to think

If you are fixed on looks stick with the Oracle

More seriously post Pederson mods setting bounce is much more predictable and easily achieved, stability is improved and overall its a no brainer

Get an SME table to put that superb arm on!

Hanss T-30 (or T-60) + SME V is also a good combination. Very rigid arm + rock solid stable player. My SME V worked well on the VPI hw19 also, but the synnergy is better here.

Thanks Folkfreak, the gyrodec is only in transit to me and already fascinated by the Pedersen mod. I haven’t spun vinyl since my Talisman Virtuoso DTI. Hopefully my growth will be slow and steady as I’m already out of comfort zone so to speak. 

Thanks @bigwave1. As I recall the Pedersen mods are all fully reversible so do not undermine the resale value of your Gyro and can take the table to a very high level. It is also a best practice to really get to know how to strip down and tune your table -- especially with a design like the Gyro where tuning the bounce is key. It was only when II finally got to spend a half hour with Tim De Paravicini that I really understood how to set up my table (the EAR DiscMaster) but the advice was invaluable -- luckily there are many on line resources on tuning the Gyro
