I'm presuming they mean J A Michell. If so then it's a sad loss - see

superb display of some of the man's work from a time when 'non digital' was
most definitely king.....


Thanks. A sensible answer.
I presumed that PJ wasn't referring to Paul Michell the geologist
who died in 1793.

John was a real gentleman and a terribly nice guy. Sad loss.

very nicely engineered turntables and bits, shame the CD project was
abandoned.

Not really, since CD has no need of precision mechanical engineering
outside the transport, which is almost always a perfectly adequate OEM
Sony or Philips unit.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I was talking to John recently about
manufacturing phono cables for Michell decks and he sounded fine then but I
guess that does'nt mean too much. He was a fine engineer and a good man. A
very sad loss indeed.
