It’s with a bit of a heavy heart I’m going to let my Michell Odyssey go. Essentially it’s a limited edition Gyrodeck Michell produced as an homage to John Michell and his engineering excellence, who at the beginning of his career built the Discovery spacecraft for Stanley Kubrick's classic movie '2001 A space Odyssey‘.
Based on the Gyrodec, the Michell Odyssey was produced in an all black finish, with a black acrylic base and the signature weights suspended below the platter being nickel silver rather than the usual gold. The black damped chassis sits on a clear acrylic spider to give a second level of isolation as found on the Orbe. It also comes with a metallic grey HR power supply.
The deck has a SME armboard fitted along with the following mods: Michell decoupling kit, Petes pylons, Petes feet, a brass pulley and an Orbe clamp kit.
100 of these decks were made in 2004 and this is number 100.
I really don’t want to let it go, but it’s sat doing nothing and they’re not small things to have just sat in the house. I’d prefer someone else to enjoy it as much as I have.
Will need to be collected, I’m near Junction 25 of the M1 near Nottingham. £1900 for this little piece of history.
