This was a performance of remarkable low-end precision, the taut, focused impact making the most of the track’s production. At the same time, I noted an occasional touch of splashiness to the cymbals, as the new Gyro/TecnoArm 2 system fully uncovered the character of this early 1990s digital recording. Michell’s tonearm is a fine partner for the turntable but it has an incisive edge, which can occasionally creep into over-exuberance.
Still, the TecnoArm 2 contributes to this deck’s low-end prowess, so the drum strikes on the Eagles’ ‘One Of These Nights’, from the album One Of These Nights [Asylum K53014], thundered from my speakers with punch and immediacy. And when a more measured hand was required to capture the faster and more intricate bass on the title track of Jessie Ware’s 2026 Superbloom LP [EMI Records EMIV 2152], the Gyro skipped along with delicacy and insight. Additionally, the high-frequency information here was crisp, detailed and sparkling.
