About the T8
The J.A. Michell Engineering T8 is a premium tonearm designed for Michell turntables, especially the Gyro series. Michell describes it as a class-leading tonearm and a major step up from the T2, with a new aluminium vertical bearing housing, redesigned sleeve, and stainless-steel vertical bearing shaft to improve stability, rigidity, and control of vibration and resonance. It is only available when ordering a Michell turntable and is not sold separately.
