Nice picture John - makes me wish I still had my Gyro. Such classic, superbly engineered turntables.

We have a "picture" thread going where you can see others' kit . . .

I bought a Gyrodeck SE recently and have been playing it for the past 2 weeks

When I went to demo it, I had no plans to buy a TT- I had a Project  that I was satisfied with and was looking to go house hunting and could not justify the purchase price. But, against  a more rational judgement I went and demo'd it with a Goldring 2200 .  I went home, and found that my Project sounded flat, congested and lacking in dynamic range in comparison. As my persuasive dealer was having a sale he offered me a discount and home installation. I relented.

I 've had it now for two weeks , with an Rondo Red repurposed from the Project  What can I say, absolutely huge soundstage, wide dynamics and fantastic detail resolution. On my system ( Naim 150x/112x Neat Motive 1) it gives a real whollop and a real drive with drums . Toe-tapping fun.

It does not give a lean sound or a warm sound; it’s clean, big, with real drive and some impressive low end.

Yep, described pretty much why I love my GOrbe.

And they aren't called "dealers" for nothing!!

it was a new house I was hunting for me. Far more difficult, expensive and frutsrating than a TT which will bring joy.

Only snag is that compared with  th Gorbe, CDS sound  flat  and lifeless. A pain as I have way more Cds than vynill

From what people are saying, you might need to try out the Majestic DAC.

Which would mean ripping all the CDs, as the CDS doesn't have a digital out.

Mind you, the CDS is a fab source
