That old bug returned. Sometimes creation of new threat not going to work.  The replies still work.

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...

Hi.  First time posting.  I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000.  He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades.  He has ow...

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...

Epigraph "…just buy a used Micro Seiki and don’t worry about turntables anymore; built like a tank and sounds better than TTs costing over 30K USD.” Mr. Ikeda, of Ikeda / Fidelity Research The Main bitching It amasses me how the preoccupation...

Well, I know these endless discussions about Seiki but after a while we all have to make a decision. Tuning? Better? Better than what? What is "I like it!"?When doing something - serious - it is mandatory to know what a correct tonal reproduction is....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]  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...

[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...

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)...

Hi Measet,The oil I would use is Zoomspout, it works great. I have a platter with a similar profile that Wellington has, my second RX-5000 has a stainless platter made by Micro Seiki with the same dimensions as the original gun metal platter.Just fli...

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 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...

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...
