THE CLASSIC MICHELL TURNTABLE

The GyroDec turntable was first introduced in the early 1980s and employed a design that outperformed any other turntable at the time. Utilising a hanging pendulum-style sub-chassis with an isolated drive motor, the Gyrodec literally turned turntable design on its head and influenced the future of vinyl playback.

Although the modern GyroDec may look very similar to the original 1980s design, the current Gyrodec is far more sophisticated. Everything from the motor and power supply to the platter and main bearing has been redesigned and improved to ensure the performance and reliability of the turntable remains class-leading.

The classic Michell turntable, continuously refined during many years of development to the current level of performance. The Michell GyroDec is a three-point spring-suspended turntable of medium mass, which is compatible with most quality tone arms in existence. Earlier GyroDecs can always be brought up to present spec, and every modern GyroDec can be upgraded to almost the status of the mighty Orbe.

Features

Low contact area feet.

The solid aluminium feet of the turntable are shaped so the area in contact with the supporting surface is very small, this is done to minimise the transfer of vibrations from the supporting furniture into the turntable.

Three point spring suspension system.

Three suspension towers are fixed to the acrylic base to hold the suspension springs in place and provide height adjustment for the sub chassis.

Weighted pendulum style sub chassis.

Hanging on the three suspension springs, this provides a rigid dense platform to mount the main bearing, platter and tonearm assembly, ensuring there is no movement between them, while also acting as a ‘resonance / vibration sink’ drawing away unwanted vibrations from the sensitive elements of the turntable.

Inverted oil circulating main bearing.

Contrary to traditional designs, our main bearing has the point of rotation at the top of the assembly, not at the bottom. This orientation allows us to fully lubricate the inside of the entire bearing while the platter is turning. We achieve this by way of a modified Archimedean screw that we machine into the inside bore of the bearing. The oil is drawn from a reservoir at the base of the main bearing up to the thrust ball at the top, fully lubricating as it goes, it then returns to the reservoir via a waste hole drilled into the bearing spindle. Lubricating the precision parts of the main bearing in this way means that any potential for noise or vibration created by the rotation of the platter is avoided.

High density acrylic base.

This provides a rigid non resonant surface to fix the suspension system to.

Impedance-matched platter with solid brass weights.

The platter material was chosen for its vibration dampening characteristics and because sonically it is a very similar material to vinyl, so it has a very neutral sound characteristic. The brass weights are added to give the platter extra mass and subsequently more momentum when spinning. This greatly improves speed stability and helps keep wow and flutter to a minimum.

Free standing motor unit.

The motor unit used to drive the turntable is completely separate to the turntable, meaning it doesn’t touch the turntable in anyway. The only connection between the motor and the turntable is the drive belt that drives the platter. This stops any noise or vibrations created when the motor is running, getting through to the sensitive parts of the turntable.

Hinged lid.

The turntable comes with a hinged clear acrylic lid to protect the turntable from dust and damage. The hinges are made in two parts that allow the lid to be easily removed if required.

Record clamp.

Supplied with a standard record clamp, this helps flatten warped or uneven vinyl and reduce resonance within the vinyl disk.

Another great story by the talented Cheyenne Blue. To be honest, I did worry this was going to be a sapphic retelling of Crocodile Dundee, but it was far from it. Very enjoyable indeed.

Great story!
I loved this book. The storyline was so well written and different. I love how authors from other countries portray Americans and this was one of my favorites. I don't know anyone that says some of the things Hayley does outside of the 1980s or any New Yorker that is as nice as her but I loved her character. Jenna and Hayley were great together. The descriptions of the outback and life on a ranch were so vivid. If you've never read Cheyenne Blue I recommend this book and all her others.

Wonderful introduction to kink. Enjoy!
Format: Kindle
Anna Stone's latest book is stand-alone and the first in a series that I expect will feature 4 stand-alone novels. Each book will probably focus on another partner in the group of owners of the sapphic kinky nightclub - Club Velvet. As is often the case with Stone's book, the plot introduces an inexperienced submissive young woman and a jaded, very experienced, dominant older woman (in this case she's only in her 30's). As often is the case, there's chemistry, the younger woman discovers her sexuality with the help of the older woman, and from one kinky session to another their feelings for each other deepen. You can call it a pattern, or a trope, a recurring theme, or whatever. However, let me point out that despite the (many) similarities, each and every one of Stone's books presents the same idea in a different light, depicting the characters with different backgrounds that offer different obstacles in the relationship. Stone doesn't fall into the cliche of an author who recreates the same story again and again. Rather, she presents us, her readers, with a recurring opportunity to learn more about the world of kink and to gain more understanding and insight into the intricacies and delicacies of a kinky relationship. While not all her stories present an introductory level of BDSM, many of them do, and by that Stone is doing the kink community a great service. She presents respect, mutual consent, attentive partners, immaculate aftercare, and overall a very attractive depiction of kinky relationships. So, this book falls into the introductory criteria and it is done very well. I have read all of Stone's previous books and I love her writing but in this book, in particular, I felt the inner monologues and the emotional hurdles were justified and created great conflicts. Those conflicts were resolved through honest and open communication, and through self-work, supported by the other MC, and that's true for each of the MCs who both had demons to deal with. I love seeing a resolution brought about by a joint effort and through open communication and this sealed the deal for me. T&T: Tropes: Age gap, workplace romance (hot for boss), ice queen, BDSM, rich girl/poor girl Triggers: sexual expolitation, plagiarism, open-door sex scenes, BDSM, parental neglect Rating: 4.5 stars.
