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

Might I make a suggestion? A non-suspended table with a Ginko Cloud is an amazing combination. ESPECIALLY if you can isolate the motor from the Cloud platform, even more magic. You can get all those black backgrounds that a suspended table has yet all the slam of a non-suspended...or micro/macro dynamics if you wish. Just a thought, really worth checking out.

Hmm, I have thought of this can you be more specific with your non-suspended table suggestions?

After all those years (I had Roksan (very good sound), my friend has an Orbe) I would go for a Basis Turntable.

Yes, I have thought of those as well but the dealer network here in Canada is a little restricted.
