I know there is no reason to describe my view about high end audio but i do not know why i am interested to do that in this forum.I think we could categorize audio systems in 3 level.Level 1 is a system that make you sad in long listening session bec...

To Antonio,
it is not necessary to “to find some mat with those characteristics of yours”. The characteristics of mat would be applicable only I context of the TT you use (platter, suspension and so on). With my Micro 8000 that has very dead soundi...

Hi, George
First off all I have to mention that I use Max 282 as my “second” arm. I mean my best stereo cartridge I use with 3012 as I feel that it has more interesting lover bass and upper bass then 282. The 282 has slightly hollow and slightly bor...

Did you buy the Denon?I'm curious because (speakers not included) is on a recommended components list by the Swedish LTS (Sound Technical Society). Things with zero or low detected coloration, after meticulous listening tests, end up on that con...

I saw this turntable while over at the show in Munich. It is called Air Force 1. Allegedly there are Micro Seiki people behind it. There might be some truth in that.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/P1010101.jpg[/IMG]A Micro f...

I have one of my newest Micro Seiki RX-5000 sitting in basement for years and doing nothing and I decided to let it go. I was keeping it for year as some kind of back up TT, in case my 8000 got broken or as TT that I would be able to use at...

I was offered to buy Micro seiki RX5000. The seller sent me a short video. If you see it carefully you will notice that the platter moving slightly up and down. Is that that normal or this could be sign that the bearing is not in good condition?

Can I buy your Micro SX-8000 for $5K? After all its 30 years old easy to make for a few hundred bucks.davidActually let me offer you $10k for something that old and shouldn't be sold for more than $2k in Best Buy....

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...

I found locally a professional mechanist, also I discovered a reliable supplier who can deliver me at relative low-cost the L316 raw material, so I'll start the steel platter project soon.
I just read some post in this thread regarding HS-80 flyw...

Hi Romy,
Apologies for the very late reply—I spent some time trying to track down the references you mentioned on your site.
I wasn’t able to locate the exact post you were referring to, but I did go through several Micro Seiki th...

I have a micro seiki dd-30, and cannot find the headshell. My 20 yr old son has taken an interest in vinyl, and I would like to make the turntable usable for him! My question is, is there any other headshell that can be used on this table? I cannot...

Gibraltar, I do not feel that it make any difference. I certainly did NOT compare the armboards for the same arm and same needle but my sentiment is that it has no impact, of has no meaningful impact. Micro did not make bigger armboards for bigger ta...

Could someone help me get the platter off of this air bearing monster? It works well enough, but the brass is deeply tarnished from years of hand-assisted starts and stops. Can't effectively refinish it on the plinth. I assume that after unscrewing t...

Hi Wellington,
Also I'm thinking to make a stainless steel platter for my RX-5000.
As you have good experience with yours could you tell me the exact parameters of the new design (beveled insight edge, thicker deck part). The schematic would b...

Thanks for useful infos.

I read THIS short interview with Hideaki Niskikawa, the person behind TechDAS, and I learned he was the Micro Seiki chief designer, and was the responsible at least by the design of the SX-8000 II (cited in the interview).

Just a last comment, since you did not ask for it. This entire notion in audio—that engineers in the past knew what they were doing, and therefore it voids our responsibility to make decisions—is, in my view, quite an ugly notion in audio and in epis...
