Michell Audio is a revered British audio manufacturer with a history dating back to the 1960s, specializing in high-end turntables typically reserved for serious audiophiles.

And this week, the brand has introduced two new models, one midrange and a next-gen version of one of its most icon turntables. Both are certified audiophile-grade.

Michell Gyro and Revolv Turntables

A revamped icon

Let’s start with the reimagined classic.

Michell’s latest Gyro is essentially a modern version of the brand’s iconic Gyro turntable, introduced in the early 1980s, and an updated version of the 2005-released Gyro SE.

The latest Gyro is the most significant reimagining yet, according to the brand. It maintains the same iconic fully suspended design, but everything beneath the surface has been updated and refined.

“It’s a ground-up engineering overhaul that delivers dramatic improvements in performance, usability, and long-term reliability, reads the company’s press release, “while staying true to the Gyro’s unmistakable form.”

As mentioned, every part of Michell’s new Gyro has been updated and refined. But the standout upgrades include a new aluminum baseplate and a reworked, more rigid chassis, both of which have been designed to increase stability and absorb unwanted vibrations.

A new midrange

In addition to the reimagined Gyro, Michell has introduced a brand-new midrange turntable — called the Revolv — that sits between the Gyro and its entry-level Tecnodec (which goes for $2,199).

According to the brand, the Revolv “delivers the precision, clarity, and enduring quality that defines the Michell name, in a format that is effortless to live with and endlessly rewarding to use.”

The Revolv shares a similar unsuspended design with a high-mass aluminum chassis as Michell’s Tecnodec, but that chassis has been embedded with similar brass weights as the Gyro to keep the turntable more grounded.

Like the Gyro, the Revolv’s motor system and power supply are separate and freestanding from the rest of the turntable, which further protects against vibrations that could interfere with musical detail and clarity.

Price and availability

Michell doesn’t include the tonearm or cartridge with either of its latest Gyro or Revolv turntables, so keep in mind that those will be an extra cost — Michell recommends buying both from them.

Both turntables are available for order now from the company. The Gyro costs £5,995 (approximately $8,050), while the Revolv costs £3,995 (approximately $5,400). If you’re in the US, Michell’s turntables are exclusively sold through Fidelity Imports.

Both are available in either black or silver finishes.
