Know before you buy
This kit is specifically engineered for the Michell GyroDec and Gyro SE turntables. It is not designed for use with other turntable brands or models.
No, the installation is straightforward and designed to be retro-fitted by the user. The kit includes a new threaded spindle that replaces your existing one, allowing the clamp to screw down securely onto the platter.
By creating a firmer coupling between the record and the platter, the clamp effectively flattens minor warps in your vinyl. This stability reduces unwanted resonance and tracking errors, resulting in cleaner, more precise audio playback.
The clamp is designed to work with standard-weight vinyl records. However, it may not be suitable for extremely thick or specialized pressings that do not allow enough thread length for the clamp to engage properly.
The kit comes with a replacement threaded spindle that installs directly into your turntable's main bearing body and the screw-down clamp itself. Everything needed for the conversion is provided in the box.
