Michell Odyssey

How often in Hifi do you truly get to own something that no one else has. There were only 100 of these turntables manufactured.

"When David Price, editor of Hi-Fi World, was asked to assemble a brilliantly balanced system it was inevitable that he chose his beloved vinyl as his preferred source. The limited edition Michell Odyssey turntable was partnered by the equally capable Michell TecnoArm, Ortofon Rondo Bronze MC cartridge"

Hi-Fi World - September 2005 -David Price

The design is of course well known and it has stood the test of time both artistically and sonically. It is difficult to describe just how tactile and gratifying it is to play a record on a deck such as this and to watch the weights spinning below the platter. It is indeed a joy to use and a design icon.

As a complete design package this is all but impossible to beat for the price, and the chance to own a piece of Hifi history and be one of a hundred, priceless.

Based on the classic Gyrodec, the Limited Edition Michell Odyssey will be produced in a numbered series of just 100 pieces supplied in an all black finish, with a black acrylic base and the signature weights suspended below the platter being nickel silver rather than the usual gold.

The black damped chassis sits on a clear acrylic spider to give a second level of isolation as found on the Orbe. A record clamp is supplied as standard. The dust cover is manufactured from clear acrylic. A matching black HR power supply completes the turntable.

The Odyssey comes with a black version of the highly acclaimed and well matched Tecnoarm "A", a perfect partner

With its striking finish, attention to detail and outstanding sound quality it will only be a short period of time before the 100 units are snapped up.

Mark Levinson 326S Baby version of the Ref 32 Pre-amp at a reasonable cost of £6,995. Like most technologies the benefits of the research for the reference products trickle down into more affordable products like the 326s Pre-amp. You get alot of the quality of its bigger brother, providing a jump in the quality available at this price.

Ayre Acoustics C-5xe Universal Disk Player Stereophile Extract: "It ought to be fairly obvious that I found the Ayre C-5xe more than satisfactory. I didn't expect it to disappoint, but I was unprepared for just how much it delighted me. I've heard a lot of impressive audio components over the years, but I've heard very few that afforded me greater musical pleasure or sent me on as many voyages of musical discovery through discs I thought I knew well." - Wes Phillips, July, 2005

Gryphon Diablo The ultimate reference integrated amplifier at £6100. The Gryphon sonic magic in a reasonable sized and georgeous case, you must hear this as it puts most pre power combo's to shame, pure music at its best.

Brinkmann LaGrange turntableThe Brinkmann LaGrange turntable is without a doubt the best source component I have ever had the chance to enjoy over an extended period of time. It represents a level of perfection and emotional connection to music that I have never heard before. - Danny Kaey extract from Positive Feedback

Teac Esoteric DV-50SThe Esoteric DV-50 is the most fun you can have with digital music playback short of the dCS trio reviewed by Michael Fremer in April 2003 (Vol.26 No.4). Given that the dCS gear costs about six times as much as the DV-50, the Esoteric is a screaming bargain, especially considering its hyper-advanced technology, bulletproof build, and exceptional sound. You can even play movies on it. - Stereophile Extract
