[quote user="enjoy_the_music"] Making a vacuum hold down is quite simple, but would it be easier to use a device like the old Audio Technica AT-666? I guess the material used in the latter is not the ultimate. You don't need a great amount of vacuum ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also do not forget that the phonostage that you built has very lash and very polite sound. [/quote]I would like to stress the politeness and lushness of 834PT-AIR phonocorrector. This characteristic of this phonostage s...

[quote user="Gibraltar"]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 arm...

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).

That sucks. I use to have a box of perhaps a dozen of YO186 but I did not see it for a while, pretty much from the time I moved to new house. I was listening today some of my “critical” reference stuff and concluded with very high certainty that my M...

I kind of less care about Lamm or about his new amps but rather I am interested using the example of ML3 to see what the DHT tubes are capable off. There are some people who worship direct-heated tubes and attribute to them some ventures (like ...

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...

Why did I drag this out for so long? The WT Reference arm I use has easily adjustable VTA, and for some time I suffered using a loose L-shaped Allen wrench for adjustments, with no way to keep track of how high the arm was set. Although t...

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...

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...

friday we had a good test , we use Roon Labs software.tone was very similar in both CEC and Berkeley but i am not sure about our system tone resolution because we connected a push-pull amplifier to 2way living voice speaker.in our test Berkeley was g...

Thanks, drdna,
I personally inclined toward the BC scenarios. I’m thinking to hard-couple the platters using a fairly high force belt between the platters. It would allow handling the micro-playing sin the bearings and make the momentum (kinetic ene...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]I heard this TT, it was magnificent, almost no coloration to speak of, dead dead quiet. Of course it wasn't plugged in and there was no tonearm or cartridge yet but man I loved the sound! Really whatnthe hell is everyon...

We do distinguish between micro and macrodynamics because they rarely cohabit the same musical environment, except possibly for the performing musicians. If I am close enough to be continually aware of microdynamics I don't want to hear a sforzando ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Why do you feel that uniform "floating" rotation is possible only with N amount of drives? [/quote]I don't feel it's the only way :-)[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Let look in this deeper. A single drive would it be idlers o...

[quote user="hagtech"] I'm not convinced a constant side load on bearing is good. It causes assymetrical wear. Just seems to me a center balanced bearing with no lateral loads would be better. Merely an intuitive hunch. [/quote]

I do not know, I always have difficulties to talk with audio people about those subjects. They seems to have very strong and very definitive position how different driving tool affect sound of their timbales. The most ...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

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...

With the recent changes on my configuration changes and employing the “End of the Live Phonostage”, in duty I re-thinked my analog playback. I got rid to arms and one deck, changed the mapping between the arms and phonostages and ended up with quite ...

STYLUS CLEANING – LIKE MAGIC! I own a ZeroDust, an XtremePhono and some liquid stylus cleaners, but I don’t use them anymore. Why? Because none of them works as well as a product I bought at the supermarket for a few pennies. I've been using th...

a load on the side of the bearing could cause an elliptical rotation. since we are dealing with micro-engineering the effect is likely audible. Arthur Khoubesserian of Funk Firm uses a single motor with 2 additional pulleys to ...

Micro Seiki copies and the power of marketing. Stitch ,PT Barnum knew human nature well ,his legacy is ever so alive and kicking today. John reading some of your comments above I thought I add. There is nothing wrong with being a pessimist , many goo...

While I have heard the terms static dynamics, micro and macro dynamics, I have never heard of dynamic dynamics. Are you referring to the term “changing dynamics”, which means a volume change, either gradual or instantaneous. What was missing yesterda...

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)...

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....

Is there any way to choose the "right wife" only by video and photos whithout trying her? ;) You are well experienced Romy, which are the symptoms of the "wrong", wobbling or worn out bearing when we buy Micro Seiki RX or SX? Anyway I would like to g...
