***SOLD***
I decided to downgrade my vinyl system. I'm the second owner of the TT, dustcover and arm. The Orbe clamp was bought new.
The Gryo SE is the more updated model with the DC-powered motor and functions perfectly. The Michell Tecnoarm (a) is the latest version that has the silver Litz cable and the tecnoweight and VTA adjuster. It has no visible marks and works in perfect harmony with the Gyro.
There are two cosmetic blemishes with the table's base. There's a small chip on the base that's hidden from view because it's below the platter, and a tiny mark on the inner front-left side of the base, that's, again, hidden from view due to the platter. The original owner failed to disclose these marks, but I decided to keep it anyway since they're so minor and hidden by the platter. See the bottom two pictures with the pen used as a reference for size.
The Orbe clamp is new and is a great upgrade over the stock clamp. By many accounts, the Orbe clamp alone brings a significant amount of the sound produced by the much more expensive Michell Orbe turntable.
The dustcover is customized to protect and show off the curved beauty of the Gyro. It's much, much better than the crappy stock dustcover.
I have the original box for the table, but the top layer of the foam is split at the corner (but can be taped together). So the structure of the package will still be fine, and I'll reinforce it wherever I can.
I prefer to sell it as a package, but may sell it individually after some time. The price for the table, arm (and the armboard that'll fit any Rega variant), Orbe clamp, and dustcover is $1895 + shipping (+ PayPal fee), which, frankly, is a steal and therefore firm. The new price for everything is $4350, so you're getting a huge discount for a high-end turntable setup.
Should I decide to sell them individually, the prices will be:
Gyro table w/stock clamp + dustcover: $1400
Tecnoarm: $650
Orbe clamp: $300
