Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...

user="measet"]unfortunately I didn't have chance to set up the stable
speed on my neither RX-5000. I got the best result when I mounted
back the original SF-1 belt to the platter and K thread to flywheel. The
speed is accurate and stable (...

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...

I would like to note that my disagreement with David about his and other justification of TT high price does not imply that some of high price TT are very good performers, and it is highly possible that the new Micro AF1 is a very good sounding TT, i...

I came across a used TL-0 for sale yesterday (black version - looks nicer than current in my eyes). I listened to it through some 20k Accuphase amps and B&W 800D speakers, and the sound was very poor. Fortunately it sounded even worse when the TL...

Hm you are true in the “terra incognita” territory as far as I concern. The preamps are mystery to me. All my attempts to make any decently sounding preamp or even buffer failed. To me Placette was truly God sent and if I got burned that I am looking...

[quote user="Axel"]In my case I got more resolution with primary loading, BUT it gets very quickly too bright with even small changes, sounding all wrong. The 18k on *secondary* sounded fine, but was missing some more detail that I know from connecti...

I have a mystery – my Second stereo arm stopped to sound right. My Second stereo arm is Micro MAX 282. I have been using it for years and I know it very well. It is not the “phenomenal arm”, it loose to my best arm and I know how, but it is an OK arm...

I recently picked up a MAX-282 tone arm and when setting it up with my test record I'm getting buzzing in the right channel during the bias test tracks. Changing the anti-skating setting has no audible effect. On other arms I have if I set the VTF to...

but i think, ending up that far down the drain, he may well have been doing exactly that. Or at least inhaling a bit too much in the company of smokers.
I've been researching getting a new table, and a micro seems a nice balance of toplogy and exe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, the point is that audio people do not deal with original raw digital file therefore their comments about Analog vs. Digital are not relevant as they do not see the true digital but rather a digital crap. [/quote]Hi ...

I have a box set of Günter Wand conducts his North German Radio SO with 4 Brahms symphonies. It is celebrated recording from beginning of 80s. I like it but it always sound to me like play critical mass of Brahms without any finesse-Brahms. My versio...

[quote user="xandcg"]Amir,If you are looking for a transparent DAC and it could have a built-in preamp, you may want to take a look on:Merging + NadacNadac Player, same but a built-in music server (or something).I did not listened to them, but at lea...

[quote user="dkarmeli"] We've been discussing the price of AF1 all this time and why it costs what it does, nothing to do with what one is willing to pay for it. [/quote]Actually I am not " discussing the price of AF1 all this time". The conversation...

Still being pissed that my second arm/cartridge does not sound as good as my first one I decides to get another phono DIN-RCA cable – I have my reasons to be suspicions now about my kinky Micro Fat cable. So, talking about different manufacturers som...

One funny thing about "dynamic range" is that different audio camps claim to desire and get some form of "improved" "dynamics" from their respective, widely differing topologies, from panels to single drivers, to plasma, etc.Maybe they don't claim to...

Paul, this in a way reminds the everlasting question “Where love has gone”. You said very nice: “when the electricity is good the Sound is the purest expression of the Music”. Then, when electricity turns bad what happens to Music? Well, nothin...

Thanks, Roman... I strangely (?!?) feel me like a schoolboy at his first primary schoolday... virtually ALL my (limited) audio knowledge, vanished... and I'm dealing with brand-new problems, like a crossover with fixed slopes and cut-off frequencies ...

The main trouble I've had with any sort of wave guide - including horns - is their audible-to-me signature shaping of the sound, like speach. I just have a hard time shaking my awareness loose of the shaped sound as I try to listen to music thr...

I'm about to do what amounts to building a new system.What i'd like to do is build/acquire a set of amps that can be hotrodded if-you-will in the vein of the melquiades re: channel tuning.my goals from a technical/mech perspective are the following: ...

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...

Apparently, TTs are so mysterious that anything goes, as long as it's long, convoluted, and circular. Multiple DC motors "make sense" if one starts by believing that an AC motor naturally slaves to its sine wave and polarity, and that this behavior ...

[quote user="dkarmeli"]is that the operating word is "Turntable Collection". The Air Force One (hate the name!) is the culmination of the great Micro Seiki's coming full circle and once again starting a new chapter in high end analog reproduction, th...
