New belt for Michell Gyro SE?

I checked the Artech website today and there are MkII versions of the Gyro SE and Orbe as well as the QC supply. They did not give any info as to the improvements but the price of the Gyro SE MkII has increased by $200. I would be interested to know what is going on. Michell generally offers upgrade kits whenever they make improvements. Also, Music Direct is selling the QC supply Mk I for $750 which is $150 off. Still rather pricey to me but getting into the realm of reason.

I sent an e-mail to Artech to see if they know about the new belt. Also, I just bought my Gyro SE and it is designated the "II" version but I don't know what has changed (not the belt, apparently). Additionally,I have the standard power supply and would be interested in trying the upgrade supply and in comments from those that have upgraded.

Hi, I would like to know what arm everyone is using with their Gyro SE??? And to what result. I am using an Origin Live RB250 and am quite satisfied with one exception: The adjustments on the arm are quite crude and tough to work with. thanks

Par3nl, I'm also using the OL RB250. I have the optional threaded fitting for setting VTA, which seems like a very solid mounting, but is a pain to actually adjust.

Plato, I also have the threaded adjuster and I also had a machinist make some spacers a bit thicker to give a bit more latitude for adjustment. I am using the Dynavector Karat 17-2 MKII and have been pleased with the performance. I have been considering a better cartridge such as a Lyra or a Koetsu. My consideration is whether or not the OL250 with its limitations will do justice to the cartridge. Mark at OL told me that he mounted a Koetsu and it worked great, do you have any thoughts about it?? BTW have you found out any more about the new belt. Have you considered the OL DC motor mod? Best Regards
