Michell Gyro/Orbe owners upgrade path


Would be delighted to hear from former or current owners of Michell Gyro/Orbe on the TT upgrade path you took or would contemplate taking. Am immensely happy with a Michell Orbe TT with a Triplanar mk 7 arm and the new Transfiguration Orpheus L cartridge feeding a Nagra VPS. There is no earthly reason to upgrade except...
Am looking seriously at a TW Acoustic Raven One !
Many thanks.

I recently (like a week ago) upgraded from a Michelle Gyrodec MK II and the Tecnoarm. I wanted to buy a Transrotor Zet 3.1 with Origin Live Illustrious tonearm mainly because of the looks but it wouldn't fit so I ended up having to settle for an Avid Actuts and Dynavector 507 combination. It has to be THE UGLIEST setup but it sounds fantastic - night and day. Instruments I didn't even know were there are popping out and I have that inky black background. I'm discovering new details everytime I put on a record. I'm still using the old cartridge (Ortofon 2M Bronze) because my new cartridge hasn't arrived but hopefully (it better for what I spent) it will sound much better.

Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.
