Additional information
The Michell Mycro turntable is a detailed and neutral audio device, known for its elegant engineering and sound quality.
Key Features
Suspension System: The Mycro features a spring-suspended design, similar to the GyroDec, but with less adjustable suspension. This design is suitable for a narrower range of tonearms, typically the Rega RB250/300.
Platter: It uses a GyroDec-style platter without the hanging weights, replacing the glass platter found in its predecessor, the Syncro.
Bearing: The Mycro incorporates a variant of the GyroDec's inverted bearing, which contributes to its sound quality.
Motor and Drive: It typically uses an AC synchronous motor, which is different from the DC motors found in some newer models like the TecnoDec.
Speed Control: The Mycro is a two-speed belt-drive turntable, which allows for precise speed control.
Sound Quality and Upgrades
Sound Characteristics: The Mycro is praised for its detailed and neutral sound, which does not produce the "honeyed" vinyl sound often associated with older turntables.
Upgrade Possibilities: It offers upgrade possibilities, particularly with tonearms that have the same geometry as Rega arms, such as Origin Live models
