Michell Engineering are a small family-held enterprise situated in the northern area of London, In the early sixties founder John Michell created J.A.Michell Engineering as a precision engineering company doing work for the nearby film industry (e.g. spacecraft models in Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey"), motorcar and aircraft builders and, indeed, audio component manufacturers. While thus having been involved in turntable design before, Michell Engineering got officially launched in hi-fi when we took over the manufacturing of the Hydraulic Reference model (seen in "A Clockwork Orange") from then-neighbouring company Transcriptors. Our philosophy is to combine good-sounding and good-looking materials with precision engineering, to create highly-performance products that can easily be maintained and that economically can be upgraded, to deliver year after year of satisfaction.
