It is entirely possible to buy a good flat CU-180. I have two from eBay there were correctly advertised as being flat. I have also seen them on eBay as being "slightly bent". Those you avoid.But I agree that a replica is a real possibility. I never s...

As I grow old and nurse a fragile back, I too have a fantasy of a good sounding, lightweight TT (and amp, speakers for the matter).Every lightweight TT on the market makes me interested for this reason
(Rega Planar 9, Well Tempered, Roksan, Amazon,...

OK, folks, today I have started slowly to setup the playback itself. I took the small bass speaker I have and moved it around the room. The room surprisingly bassy, that is good. While I was doing it I was installing my TT, set up phonostage... I de...

A turntable that is attractive to Morons that just so happens to kill them off...HA! Reminds me of the tantilizing glow of a bug zapper. ZZZAP! There goes another one.It seems that a liquid driven/suspended platter would have to oppe...

I would not worry about Micro Seiki air pump. The original pump
come in own housing that I still feel a bit noise for my paranoiac taste so, to
build an additional sarcophagus around the Micro pumps or to put the pump in separate room with a

Wellington,It is my understanding that lead was used because it'a anti an anti-seize properties. The bearing fit is very tight and I suppose this helped with the lubricants of the period and is not a problem with modern synthetics.The bearing does no...

Measet,Thank you very much for posting this extremely valuable information! It adds to the data base for the 5000. I will have to translate it to English using the Google translator. Now, if someone could locate and post the RY-5500 schematic, we’d a...

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...

Hi All, 103 or 103R + mass loaded SME headshell + 3012 or a 3009 + Seiki 1500 + hagerman opamp phono stage (good only with select parts and battery power) or an EAR 834 (with some mods) and some old Altec mic t...

Adrian, just for you. In order you do not feel lonely I need to tell you that I personally wired to Micro Seiki somewhere around $14.000 for a new 8000II system that they promised to deliver in 2 month. I still have the contract and invoice and it wa...

I have to agree with Wellington. To be fair we both use stainless steel platters (heavier than stock) and use CU-180 mats to damp the platter which ensures an almost dead platter, way better than any acrylic, hard rubber and felt mat I have tried. St...

Hello Romy,I have been using the Max 282 with a Koetsu Urushi Platinum .2mV the last 6 months with excellent results to my ears. I have a few mundane questions that I could use some help with.I am using the fixed headshell "pipe." Have you found any ...

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

I just acquired a Micro RX-1500. Without the platter on, the bearing unit turns very slowly suggesting a highly viscous oil. The spindle turns freely, but the feel to my fingers is like turning a spoon in honey. It undoubtedly will turn much more...

I had a strange effect a few days back. I spoke with an audio friend of my who own a few very top performing turntables. He recently has seen the alleged new production of Micron Seiki - the Air Force One turntable and he very much liked it. I asked ...

[quote user="Stitch"]In Germany are a few analog groups, some build their turntable with a piece of wood and a knife and think it is great, some prefer old Linn, Garrads, Thorens as the only, real solution to listen to and others refuse to listen to ...

I would love to find somebody who would claim Micro Seiki descendents as they owe me $13K… Anyhow, about the TT. I never seen it and it looks good. My only concern is the presence of superfluous space between platter and user. What I mean is that the...
