Hi,
I am an analogue mania so naturally I love turntable.
I have acquired a Microseiki SX-8000 several month before and found it had speed irregularity. I thought first, the motor might be the problem but soon found there were scratch sound on the...

Thanks
rowuk! I'll for sure check this pump which sounds interesting, currently I
dont have wife, but have girlfriends from time to time, but I am
sure that Romy's cat will appreciate the CPAP pump highly, because if any
mouse decides to ...

Thanks for detailed answer. I'll go for 316L. So I would not worry about magnet issue, especially because also I use CU-180 or Audio Technica AT-666EX mat (air suction type).
As my taste is closer to steel I have plan to make also the 316L version...

I usually do not do the Audiogon posting. There are too many idiots in there and they are under too much protection of the douchebags that run that site. Not to mention that I well remember WHY I was “banned” from Audiogon to begin with:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]About the new Micro TT, I do think that this is essentially the Micro 8000 with contemporary face lift and it shall sound like Micro 8000. It might be a little better or little worse, no one knows and frankly no one would/s...

Thinking about your options, I would locate the driver at the top inside corner of the horns (horns viewed while looking into mouth), and develop the horn flare from there. See explanations below:Driver located high and inside: "Hypotenus wall" of ho...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, that is funny that you are stressing my SX8000 or even mention it, if you ever invest the effort to read the site, or at least the thread then you would understand how out of context your manner. The AF1/Micro is kin...

[quote user="Dominic"]do you happen to know which models had the air bearing?[/quote] I have seen 777, 1500, 5000, Z1, 8000 with air suspension but I think Micro did also some lighter tables with air. All those models (with exception of 8000 and Z1) ...

It seems over the course of Micro's big TTs they came out with bigger and bigger armboards. They all started with single-post boards, then at some point they started selling the double-post boards (maybe with the SX-8000), then finally with the SX-50...

A few months ago I have bought almost new RX5000 from US and I am happy with it... somebody told me an idea to mark the platter and to count how many turns it will do from 33 r.p.m. until completely stops and I have counted about 30 to 32 full turns ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]audiofilofine, you need to examine your room and your entire domestic environment in order to see where and how you might make your pair of bass horns. Also, if they will be 20Hz horn then are you planning to use next chela...

Romy, I share your skepticism of the audio media (ALL media, really.), although maybe with a bit less “attitude” than you :). Audio reviewers are predisposed to like the newest thing, especially if they didn’t experience something better from years a...

Stitch, way do you think it was foolishness? I see it as a reasonable thread and the question EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 8000 is sensible to ask.The Cat...

I need to note that MicroTTs, American Sound and a few other TTs with very heavy palter are complicated subjects. From one perspective a heavy platter is the key. I remember years back a few years Lechintsky published mathematical equivalents of TT ...

Even I do not share the Stitch's pessimism about the new Air Force TT but I do see his point that the new Air Force is kind of light version of or Micro 8000. The platter base of Air Force is 43kg but had 35Kg. The stainless steel platter...

Kim, what I
would recommend if to keep presuming that the air pump do not supply enough air
flow. We understand that your platter does nor rise high enough and does not
clear the glass plates. The only reasons for it would be the air pressure is

Hi Romy,
First I want to say thank you for your opinion.
I have read your post several times and I will read it again to understand fully what you mean with my 8000 next to me. You have given me things to think of such as 'dirt that cause the scra...

In a way you can write some positive / negative about nearly every Design out there. The Micro 5000 & 8000 are 20 years old, they have 2 weak features- a Platter which rings- no suspensionBUT, when we look at their latest units, we can see that M...

[quote user="jam"]I would agree that the RX-5000 has some advantage to the SX-8000 and I put the differences down to mainly the air bearing and construction of the platter which will cause softness and a lack of focus (some people may like this). T...

George,
I do not think that the 3 motors example of Clearaudio is applicable. Theoretically it correct and a single motor driving a platter coastally minor-swing it on it’s bearing. In realty the things are more completed. With enough mass of platte...
