GyroDec
Introduced 1982$3,999 MSRP
The Gyro SE ("Spider Edition") is a compact, more affordable variant of Michell's iconic GyroDec, replacing the GyroDec's full acrylic plinth and hinged dust cover with a smaller three-point acrylic "spider" support structure while retaining nearly identical sonic performance. It uses a three-point spring suspension system and an inverted oil-circulating main bearing with the point of rotation at the top.
