Description

MICHELL CUSIS S

REFERENCE MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE

The Cusis S offers extended frequency response and incredible detail retrieval whilst retaining a level of musicality that is second to none.

All of Michell's Cusis cartridges share the same moving coil design. At the heart of the cartridge is a samarium-cobalt magnet which is combined with pure iron to create a very stable magnetic field within the cartridge.

30μ pure copper wire is used to precision wind the cartridge coils onto an ultra-lightweight armature, which is mounted onto a specially designed damper.

The damper has been specifically designed to give the stylus assembly the perfect support, which ensures the stylus tracks the groove precisely.

The number of coils, resultant output and body material, have all been optimised for each model’s stylus assembly, to give the best possible audio output.

The construction of the cartridge has been carefully designed to eliminate vibration and resonance. The aluminium chassis is designed to absorb unwanted vibration and give a rigid platform to mount the cartridge parts.

The body materials, shapes and exterior patterns have also been designed to further reduce vibration and resonance, resulting in truly unrivalled levels of detail and neutrality.

REVIEWS

"The Cusis S sounds neutral, but without being dull or matter of fact at any stage."

"It's able to reveal a weight and potency that no other offering here can come close to."

"The Michell Cususi S is very accomplished. It’s tonal realism, three dimensionality, superb low-end extension and emotional engagement is something that no other design stitches together as effectively."

Why Choose Michell

Michell Engineering is one of the most respected and enduring names in British analogue audio, renowned for producing precision-engineered turntables that combine mechanical excellence, long-term reliability, and timeless industrial design. Founded by the late John Michell in the United Kingdom, Michell turntables have become iconic within the analogue world through their distinctive suspended designs, meticulous machining quality, and deeply refined musical presentation.

What makes Michell particularly distinctive is the company’s unwavering commitment to engineering integrity and upgrade longevity. Rather than constantly reinventing products with short-term model cycles, Michell designs evolve carefully over decades, allowing customers to progressively refine and improve their turntables over time while maintaining the core platform itself. This long-term philosophy has helped establish Michell turntables as genuine lifetime analogue products.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Michell turntables consistently appeal to listeners seeking analogue playback that combines precision, musicality, and beautifully executed engineering. There is a sense of stability, refinement, and natural flow to the presentation that allows records to sound spacious, coherent, and deeply engaging over long listening sessions.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in the United Kingdom, Michell turntables are engineered around carefully controlled suspended chassis systems, precision-machined bearing assemblies, sophisticated motor isolation, and low-resonance acrylic and metal structures designed to minimise unwanted vibration throughout playback.

One of the defining characteristics of Michell designs is the company’s focus on rotational stability and mechanical isolation. The suspended sub-chassis architecture helps isolate the platter and tonearm system from environmental vibration while maintaining excellent timing stability and tonal coherence. Combined with highly refined bearing systems and carefully decoupled motor arrangements, the result is a remarkably quiet and composed playback platform.

The GyroDec in particular has become one of the most recognisable and admired turntables in high-end audio, both visually and sonically. Its iconic weighted pendulum-style platter design and suspended architecture have earned it a near-legendary status amongst analogue enthusiasts worldwide. The Orbe series further expands upon this philosophy through additional mass, isolation refinement, and increased low-frequency authority.

Sonically, Michell turntables are known for their balance, refinement, and highly natural musical presentation. Music feels fluid, spacious, and rhythmically coherent, with excellent image stability and impressive low-level detail retrieval. Rather than sounding overtly romantic or excessively analytical, Michell designs maintain a beautifully judged balance between precision and musical engagement.

Michell Product Range

The Michell Engineering range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes the GyroDec, Orbe, TecnoDec, matching tonearms, power supply upgrades, record clamps, and analogue accessories designed for serious long-term vinyl playback systems.

One of the strengths of the Michell ecosystem is its extensive upgrade path philosophy. Customers can progressively improve power supplies, suspension systems, platters, armboards, and tonearm configurations over time while maintaining the integrity of the core platform. This modular approach has helped Michell products remain relevant and highly respected across multiple generations of analogue enthusiasts.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced analogue setup team provide cartridge installation, tonearm calibration, suspension optimisation, analogue system matching, and complete setup services to ensure Michell turntables perform at their full capability within each customer’s vinyl playback system.
