Michell Gyro ‘SE’duction Special Edition
The ‘SE’duction is a strictly limited edition version of the Gyro SE. It is being sold as a package including clamp, HR power supply and black Tecnoarm. The deck has a very modern appearance due to the use of cool blue steel anodised parts, black chassis and plinth. Only 99 of these decks will be made so please be quick to ensure you get your name on one as they are sure to sell out very quickly.

Nottingham Analogue Hyper Space
The Hyper Space is an evolved version of the Space Deck featured elsewhere in this
turntable section. It builds on the basic design by adding a complex multi-
Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace: £2,930.00 excluding tonearm
Michell Orbe SE
The Orbe is the logical progression from the Gyrodek, it features many developments including a solid vinyl loaded platter, a screw down record clamp, external power supply (with tacho feedback and the latest Never Connected circuitry). The plinth offers extra isolation as it is made from two spike couple pieces of acrylic. A variety of clear or black finish options are available, please enquire for further details.
Sonically it elevates the Gyro sound by extending much deeper into the bass, having
greater stability and blacker backgrounds which allows even m ore detail to be retrieved.
Michell Orbe SE: £2,649.00 excluding tonearm
Michell Orbe
In the same way there is a spider edition and standard version of Gyrodek, so there is with the Orbe. The cased version has a full size plinth and hinged dustcover, but all other specifications are the same as the Orbe SE version featured above. A variety of clear or black finish options are available, please enquire for further details.
Michell Orbe £2,999.00 excluding tonearm
Nottingham Analogue Dais
The Dais is a beautifully manufactured and rather substantial turntable, yet one that cleverly manages to hide its bulk, looking far less imposing than one would ever expect given its component parts.
Its an exceptionally stable, quiet design which allows the sound great scale and solidity without falling into the trap of ever sounding slow or congested. Like all of the Nottingham Analogue turntables we feel its sound is tonally neutral and it simply gets out of the way allowing the cartridge and record to define the character of sound heard.
Nottingham Analogue Dais turntable excluding tonearm: £5,140.00
You can see the turntable in component form above, the parts are detailed below:
1). Dust cover ‘LP’
2). Spun iron platter with a mass of over 20kg, carefully manufactured to ensure their are no air pockets inside. Its also fitted with 4 damping rings to the perimeter which reduce resonance.
3). 25mm thick Graphite ‘mat’
4). Free standing motor housing
5). Plinth with cut out for motor
6). Turntable main structure including substantial oil pumping bearing, and in this instance fitted with AceSpace 12” tonearm. Ultimately It can be run with two tonearms if required, of either 9” or 12” length
7). Wave Mechanic power supply (also included, but not shown here, are a strobe disc and Zapper for fine speed adjustment)
J.C. Verdier Platine Nouvelle: £4,200 excluding arm
The Nouvelle version of the classic Verdier Platine deck is a beautiful if slightly
imposing monster of a turntable. The main part of the turntable is finished in a
high gloss black finish, supported on three feet which offer isolation in the form
of damped air bellows. The substantial platter is made from a non-
The motor is mounted in a separate housing and uses a DC motor which drives the platter via a cotton thread (a rubber belt is also supplied, but we prefer the sound of the cotton one). It has switchable 33 and 45 rpm facility and fine speed is easily adjusted via two rotary controls, one for each speed.
The sound is quite exceptional, reproducing inky black silences where needed with superb detail retrieval and great dynamics.
J.C. Verdier Platine Verdier: from £6,500 excluding arm
The Platine is a wonderful behemoth of a turntable. It has a combined weight of 65 kg and was the first turntable to use magnetic levitation to support the 16kg platter, both save reduce noise and reduce bearing wear. A DC motor spins the platter via a thread (a more conventional belt is also an option) from an external box situated some distance from the main turntables plinth. Many options and upgrades are also available including battery power supplies, please contact us for more information.
Nottingham Analogue Anna Log
The Anna Log is made from an aged Oak or Sapele ‘log’ (hence the name) that forms (for want of a better term) its chassis. This is a stunningly attractive and beautifully built turntable which like most Nottingham Analogue turntables can support two tonearms.
Nottingham Analogue Anna Log: £9,420.00 excluding tonearm
Nottingham Analogue Deco
The 60kg Deco is the ultimate Nottingham Analogue turntable, a design where budgetary constraints were removed, resulting in a no compromise deck of superlative quality. Every aspect of the deck, from each material choice, the way each surface interacts and damps with its neighbour to its size and shape was chosen to balance or prevent resonance. Just looking at the curved sides of the platter, chosen to reduce resonance's at any particular frequency shows the levels of care and attention invested in this deck. Unusually for a modern Nottingham Analogue turntable it has suspension that can be activated or bypassed, depending upon the owners situation and preference.
The Deco is a strictly limited edition, price is available on application but will be over £20,000 for all versions.
Audio Note TT3 0.5 Reference
The 0.5 Rerence is a slightly cut down version of the full Reference detailed below. Instead of the multi box power supply it has a smaller (but still very substantial) power supply to provide enough drive for the three slightly smaller motors.
Audio Note TT3 0.5 Reference turntable with one armboard (excluding tonearm): £27,000
Audio Note TT3 0.5 Reference turntable with two armboards (excluding tonearm): £28,175
Audio Note TT3 Reference
The TT3 Reference is a stunning and quite beautiful tour de force of a high end turntable. It’s difficult to know quite where to start describing this deck, but ultimately the most striking thing about the design is the use of 3 motors, much like the Voyd Reference which it evolved from, but taken to an even greater extreme.
For a start, each of the massive motors used has a power output equivalent to almost
2 BHP. Naturally these motors require a serious amount of current and this comes
from three massive power supplies -
The platter is made from Lexan, an incredibly tough material that is both lightweight and inert, the hugely powerful motors give a platter mass inertia equivalent of well over half a ton, with none of the problems of energy storage of a high mass platter or the problems of engineering a bearing that is able to support that kind of mass without considerable wear or noise.
The deck is made from aircraft grade aluminium and suspended upon springs with counterweights on the out riggers to ensure the system stays in balance and a system resonance of 2.4 Hz is maintained. Thanks to the balanced nature of this design, setup is both quick and easy.
The deck can support up to two tonearms, with a choice of either Audio Note or Rega arm cuts only.
The metal work is available in black or silver and the chassis can be finished either in black piano lacquer or any of the veneers used in the Audio Note loudspeaker range.
