Xerxes .20 or Michell Orbe

Hello,

I sold my Linn LP12 after realizing what better tables are our there. I have heard the SME 10; great table but overpriced, heard the Michell Gyro, nice as well but a little "light" have yet to hear the Orbe or the Xerxes but it appears these two might just be the final two contenders. Any thoughts on either of them? thanks

I went from a SOTA Star to a Linn LP 12, to the Orbe. The Orbe is the best fit for my system by a large margin.

both are nice, but the lp12 competes with both.

I liked the LP12 but the Keel upgrade was a deal breaker. The price was too high and at that level I felt and still feel there is better out there. The Linn has a much more smaller sound than some of the competition namely the SME 10 which I really like hence my decision to dump the LP12. I still feel that everyone should have it at least once in their life. Mine was super reliable and well made in direct contrast to the horrible experience I had with Oracle.
