Hello everyone, Thank you all for your help and advice. whilst waiting for bits to arrive in the post I've been doing some extensive reading on setting up my tonearm/cartridge and I've pretty much got everything in place. I didn't ever play any of my valuable records on the Dec before properly...

I did have a little giggle at your advice on what I should do (sell the gyro and buy a plug and play). Surely this is the advice of someone that clearly has no care of how much I've spent and how much I'd loose by selling my Dec after only having it for a week. Or was this just cheap sarcasm...

Hey Steve Yes you're correct, it's the bias that I'm talking about. I think I've got it pretty much sorted, all but a little drifting outwards from the centre of the Dec while the arm is floating. (Should this still be happening?) Yes I purchased the tonearm new so have all the insulation...

Hi there I already levelled the Dec with a leveller. The wire in the tonearm is ok and not coursing any problems I don't think? what I do have is a small amount of draw back with the arm, what I mean is that the arm very slowly swings back out from the centre of the record Dec outwards, when...

Hi there guys, I never got any type of protractor with my origin live onyx tonearm so I guess the next thing is to order a protractor ? Like you say al ares. I'm really wanting to learn myself and if I'm honest the guy in the shop where I purchased the Dec from didn't even advise to level the...

I have the tonearm you said about to me. Onyx and the a audio technica at440mlb cartridge. No I've not aligned my Dec yet. Do you think this will make the pops and cracks? David.

Hi there everyone I've finally got my gyro Dec and I've been setting it up. My gosh there is so much to be done. Anyway I've done most things except the over hang on the tonearm/cartridge, it says I should have 17mm from the needle to the centre of the spindle with the tonearm going through...

Hi all, I knowits a silly question but I've subjected myself to so many reviews on brushes I've blinded myself. Can someone please recommend me a good brush to use. I'm not wanting to spend mega money. Best wishes david.

Yes the guy called me today to say he was able to get my gyro quickly by chance and told me I'd have to put it together. I like that idea a lot. Thank you al ears you have been a great help.

Oh ok, Say I take your advice and go for the onyx tonearm that leaves me £150 for the cartridge I guess. Would you be able to recommend a better cartridge please. Regads david.

hi al ears, I so dont mind you adding to this thread, youre a great help, which one would you choose out of these two?. Do you think in your opinion its worth me waiting and buying the michell tonearm you said about? best wishes

Hi everyone, After chatting with a few of you over the last days im now about to purchase a tonearm and cartridge for my new michell gyro se, Al ears has kindly said about the origin live arm onyx which is £450 is this arm the best that £450 can buy? also can someone please advise me on a...

Hi guys, I can see each and every one of your points, I could spend big money on getting this right, but at the end of the day having the actual turntable there right in front of you is all that matters. I know music will sound better with a separate soundstage and better tonearm cartridge...

Hi there everyone, firstly I wanted to say thank you for all your help, I actually went ahead and purchased the michell gyro se today for £1238 (without tonearm) and hopefully will be able to pick it up at around end of Jan. This gives me time to save for a mid range tonearm and my next big...

Thank you for your help, I guess I need to save more money before I purchase my turntable. Youve been a great help. Regards David.
