What a lovely picture.Hi Romy,Many thanks for the valuable information. By fingerlift I mean that piece of metal sticking out about 1" (1/8" wide) at the extreme left end of the pipe. It is attached by two screws to the pipe. It looks easily removabl...

Hi. I acquired and spent a lot of time on this guy over the last few months. I've installed a Dynavector 507 MK II tonearm and a Dyhavector XVS-1 cartridge. I read Romy's comments that in his experience with the 8000 the belt doesn't affect the sou...

I look forward to propose the JUSTNESS AND JUSTNESS IN ANALOG JUDGMENT. If Micro-Seiki RX-5000 SOUNDS better then turntables that are being sold for $75K and if there are some idiots out there who scream that t...

Well.....after reading this all, I can say, most is definitely phenomenal waste of time.I own HS-80 for many years and in my System I can easily hear the difference with or without it.Also is my speed stable, I check it from time to time with Timelin...

The Manufacturer told me, the Model 3 has a lot of identical parts from Model 1 (Motor-management, Materials, Vacuum, Air bearing, Glass platter...) and they want to serve more customers, Price is 50% of Airforce Two.One of my friends owns the Airfor...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

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...

Recently, since I‘m doing some remodeling of my turntable, there was some noise on my site about Micro Seiki turntables. I really do not want to push my site toward to becoming one of the typical audio fetish sites but in context of this thread I wou...

Measet, I will try to find a photo and the schematic as you requested, but it may be a while before I can locate them. Plus, we are still digging out from Hurricane Irma down here. As I recall, I beefed up the raw D.C. supply and then used an LM317 r...

I did look at the thread at A’done and I assure that they are idiots. The guy claims that Micro Seiki. Wonderful table but it does need tweaking and labor - almost constantly. I has been living with Micro for a while and I know no single tweak that w...

It seems that the micro seiki platter ends by the inside gasket at 4 3/4 inches and the platter ends by the gasket by the outside edge at 11 inches. The pad would need to be cut to those dimensions for the inside hole and outside diameter to fit. I...

I know, the way I asked the question makes it uneasy to answer it.Micro Seiki fascinates me; though my experience with their tables has been less than satisfying so far. I had three very unsuccessful attempts with various 5000s, and I guess I am look...

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...

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...

Hi Measet,The original platter for the RX-5000 was gun metal which I replaced with a platter with a similar platter to Wellington's weighing about 50 lbs. , the other table came from Japan with a original stainless platter made by Micro Seiki (rare)...
