Yes it does...i used that to set the Gyro up....and still do use it a fair bit....i use straight as i tweaked the bass & treble to suit my taste...ive found that my ears are not as good as they were...too many loud gigs i fear lol

It would be interesting to hear an SME arm up against the Origin Silver....i really cant believe how good this sounds...at 675 quid the silver really is a good deal at the price....i paid 500 with only 2 months use...screaming bargain!

The Gyro SE is up and together...Origin Silver arm all set up with Audio Note IQ1 cartridge. I thought my Syncro was pretty good with the Rega 250/Nagaoka MP110 setup.....oh...no...The Gyro sounds sublime to me! I know i didnt go mad with my choice of cartridge, but its so far away from the...

Well it is a bit of extravagence tis true....but it was at the right price for both items...and to be honest, i thought...it will be my last purchase turntable wise, as, for me, its my holy grail....ive always been an advocate of 'spend as much on the scource component as you can...the rest will...
