Space Oddity – Why Michell's GyroDec is a Timeless Classic Turntable

Seeing as David has been a fan of this iconic British turntable for over thirty years, he takes the lead in this episode, explaining its strengths and weaknesses to Linn-loving Mike.

So here's our introduction to the GyroDec; there's so much to say about it – in terms of set-up, tuning and tweaking, not to mention its fascinating backstory – that we'll come back to it in a later episode. For now though, sit back and enjoy the view!

Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features the guys' unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.
