Hi All,
Personally I have been a big fan of Michell turntables for many years now, owning an Orbe long before HFL was a glint in my eye so it is great to see that they have now just released a phono stage to go with their superb and timeless turntables and I am pleased to say that we now have it on permanent demo, it got such a brilliant review in HiFi News that I just couldn’t resist adding it to our portfolio of demo kit.
The Apollo phono stage is partnered with the new ‘Muse’ power supply making it a 2 box setup helping keep the noisy power section away from the delicate Class A pre-amplification circuitry which in turn helps keep the noise floor as low as possible, it can be configured to work with all various MM and MC cartridges thanks to its selection of dip switches for Gain and Loadings.
It has been designed from the ground up by the engineers at Michell using their 50+ years of experience in the turntable market to please the fussiest of audiophiles, I have been running it for a couple of days now and partnered with our demo Orbe it is sound particularly sweet, difficult to know what to say really as it just gets out the way and lets the music come through which I guess is the point really, it just does its job extremely well, great clarity and detail whilst retaining that analogue sound we love so much with vinyl, I can see me taking it home for a while to help get it run in a little quicker 😉
Priced at £3,500 it is very competitively priced and will make a great competitor for the Rega Aura which is also a brilliant phono stage, I can see that being a very popular demo going forward.
If you’d like to come in for a listen anytime or would like to arrange a home demo please feel free to get in touch anytime.

Right, back to spinning some more vinyl.
