ACCESSORIES FOR YOUR SYSTEM
Drive Belt
All Michell turntable drive belts are made of a proprietary rubber compound, designed to keep your vinyl revolving at precisely the correct speed, while also minimising any vibration transfer from the motor to the turntable.
The drive belts are made using ultra-precise moulds, then cryogenically treated to remove any excessive flash from the moulding process, this also ensures each belt has a smooth grippy surface and that the belt section is consistent all the way around. This is essential to keep wow and flutter to an absolute minimum.
Bearing Oil
We use a proprietary synthetic oil to lubricate the main bearing in all our turntables. The oil has to be a precise viscosity to enable our inverted bearings to circulate the oil correctly.
R Record Clamp
Get better sound from your vinyl by clamping it to the platter, evening out unwanted undulations and reducing resonance in the vinyl itself.
Black Delrin record clamp with anodized aluminium knob for use on GyroDec, TecnoDec, or third-party turntable.
‘R’ Fitting: To fit straight sided record spindles of 5mm or above.
Available with silver or black anodized knobs.
Standard Record Clamp
Get better sound from your vinyl by clamping it to the platter, evening out unwanted undulations and reducing resonance in the vinyl itself.
Black Delrin record clamp with anodized aluminium knob for use on GyroDec, TecnoDec, or third-party turntable.
Standard Fitting: To fit straight sided record spindles of 6.5mm or above.
Available with silver or black anodized knobs.
SEcure Cover
Available to fit the Orbe SE and Gyro SE, the SEcure Cover has been designed to totally cover the whole deck.
Platter, motor and arm assembly, and is the best solution to keep your naked Michell Engineering turntable free of dust.
Internal dimensions.
- 190mm Height
- 500mm Wide
- 310mm Depth – Which increases to 405mm at the centre, then back to 310mm shaped front.
Iso Base
Compatible with the Orbe SE, Gyro SE and TecnoDec the Iso Base is the ideal platform to place your Michell Engineering turntable.
Its inert material characteristic combined with the tenderfeet give it the extra isolation that is necessary for the very best performance from your deck.
Uni Cover
The UniCover is a great solution for people who have an open style turntable with no hinged lid and want to keep the essential parts of their turntable dust free.
Also compatible with our TecnoDec and SE model turntables.
Tenderfeet
Made from anodized aluminium, tender feet can be used under any item of audio equipment, to help isolate that item from structural vibrations. Improving the overall audio performance.
Sold individually.
Size: Diameter 35mm Height 35mm
Please Note: These feet have a sharp point and could penetrate the supporting surface.
TecnoWeight
The TecnoWeight is a great upgrade for anyone with a compatible Rega tonearm.
This easy to fit counter weight system is made from heavy stainless steel and aluminium.
The kit comes with two different weight sizes, enabling you to tailor it to the weight of your chosen cartridge. The TecnoWeight is an underslung weighting system, putting the counter weight in line with the phono cartridge, contrary to the traditional donut style counter weights.
Having the weight in this position, lowers the centre of gravity of the entire tonearm, making it inherently more stable. The TecnoWeight is not decoupled from the tonearm like its traditional counter parts, this means the added mass of the TecnoWeight can help dampen internal resonance in the arm tube, allowing your cartridge to perform at its best.
Please Note: Compatible with all Rega tonearms and derivatives, except RB100 series tonearms.
VTA Adjuster 1
The Michell VTA adjuster 1 allows you to easily adjust the height of your tonearm, so it is perfectly level no matter what cartridge you choose to use.
Correctly setting the vertical tracking angle (VTA) and subsequently the stylus rake angle (SRA) for your cartridge, allows the stylus to perfectly track the vinyl groove, optimizing the amount of detail extracted from the recording.
Please Note: The VTA adjuster’s base is 2mm thick and once installed and set to its lowest position, the adjuster will raise your tonearm by 2mm.
If you are using the adjuster with a Michell Engineering Gyro or Orbe model turntable then please fit the shorter 10mm arm plate spacers supplied, to compensate for the added height of the adjuster.
When using the adjuster on a turntable where the arm plate/board cannot be lowered, then please note that your tonearm will be 2mm higher before any adjustment has taken place.
Can be used in conjunction with the Finger locking nut.
Compatible with Rega tonearms and derivatives using a threaded base, such as the RB250, RB300*
VTA Adjuster 2
The Michell VTA adjuster 2 allows you to easily adjust the height of your tonearm, so it is perfectly level no matter what cartridge you choose to use.
Correctly setting the vertical tracking angle (VTA) and subsequently the stylus rake angle (SRA) for your cartridge, allows the stylus to perfectly track the vinyl groove, optimising the amount of detail extracted from the recording.
Please Note: The VTA/SRA adjuster’s base is 2mm thick and once installed and set to its lowest position, the adjuster will raise your tonearm by 2mm.
If you are using the adjuster with a Michell Engineering Gyro or Orbe model turntable then please fit the shorter 10mm arm plate spacers supplied, to compensate for the added height of the adjuster.
When using the adjuster on a turntable where the arm plate/board cannot be lowered, then please note that your tonearm will be 2mm higher before any adjustment has taken place.
Compatible With: Rega tonearms and derivatives using the original three point fixing base, such as the RB202, RB303.
VTA Adjuster 3
The Michell VTA adjuster 3 allows you to easily adjust the height of your tonearm, so it is perfectly level no matter what cartridge you choose to use.
Correctly setting the vertical tracking angle (VTA) and subsequently the stylus rake angle (SRA) for your cartridge, allows the stylus to perfectly track the vinyl groove, optimizing the amount of detail extracted from the recording.
Please Note: The VTA/SRA adjuster’s base is 2mm thick and once installed and set to its lowest position, the adjuster will raise your tonearm by 2mm.
If you are using the adjuster with a Michell Engineering Gyro or Orbe model turntable then please fit the shorter 10mm arm plate spacers supplied, to compensate for the added height of the adjuster.
When using the adjuster on a turntable where the arm plate/board cannot be lowered, then please note that your tonearm will be 2mm higher before any adjustment has taken place.
The VTA/SRA adjuster comes with three nylon washers, these are to be used if you wish to raise the tonearm more than the 3.5mm of lift available using the adjuster on its own.
Compatible With: Rega tonearms using the redesigned three point fixing base, such as the RB220, RB330*
Not Compatible: Rega turntables that utilize Double Brace Technology.
Finger Locking Nut
The Michell finger locking nut allows you to secure your Rega tonearm in place without the need for spanners or grips.
Can be used in conjunction with VTA adjuster 1.
Compatible With: Rega tonearms and derivatives using a threaded base, such as the RB250, RB300.
Arm Plate Decoupling Kit
Available to original GyroDec / Orbe owners whose turntable has the arm plate attached using long screws and straight through spacers.
The new assembly isolates the arm plate from the chassis of the turntable using a redesigned arm plate spacer.
Please specify which tonearm / arm plate you wish to use with the decoupling kit when ordering.
Standard Profile Arm Plates
