Michell Orbe SE


Hello members owning or having listening experience with this turntable. I know it's an older design and doesn't therefore get any new press, but the older reviews are very positive and it seems to have all or most of the bases covered in terms of design elements and build quality. Is it still considered a good/great 'table? How does it compare to more recent offerings from SME, TW Acustic and Brinkmann?

Still a very good table; the modern massive tables have their advantages but disadvantages as well. They are very good at speed stability and deep bass but sometimes seem to me to lack the agility of the lighter, suspended tables. I would not hesitate to get the Michell if I liked it. Disclaimer, I was a dealer for them 20 years ago.
