I'm not a classic listener but who listen to classic music (between my friends) they very like multi-chanelling and they prefer more dynamic sound.I like persian classic music that it do not make me so happy with multi-chanelling.most section of pers...

My first post here, although I have read some of
the discussions on this site over the years.
I wanted to share my experience with my Micro Seiki RX-5000 and resonance
control of its heavy platter. I have seen posts here befo...

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...

Let me to explain how it started. It is well know that being a Dentist is in a blood of any Jewish boy and Alon Wolf was no exception. When he was little, the local kids teased that he might grow up without a dentist license and the little Alon was r...

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

In a way you can write some positive / negative about nearly every Design out there. The Micro 5000 & 8000 are 20 years old, they have 2 weak features- a Platter which rings- no suspensionBUT, when we look at their latest units, we can see that M...

Possible, with all my conversation about Mantis I do not remember I ever made any guess or assumption how it might sound. In horns, I feel I am qualified to make sometimes very bold assessments with very high prece...

Because no young person I know is interested in hi-end audio, so the industry may well be dead when baby boomers lose their hearing!?:-)In the meantime, if one is not gullible (moronic, Romy would say), it
is quite interesting how audio products d...

[quote user="rowuk"]Hi Amir,your english is just fine.I think that there is an additional factor that your formula needs. Sense of pitch is not determined acoustically by "Q" unless we are talking about pure sine waves. When we add the overtones foun...

[quote user="mem916"] Oh, by suspension, I meant the tuned spring suspension that the versa (and many other 'tables) use to isolate the plinth platter, and arm from vibrations coming up through the floor and the stand. I don't think of a platter bear...

The thread specifically started with the subject of dynamics - not limited to any one type (I do disagree with the principle of macro vs micro dynamics, as understood in audio as live they are never exclusive of one another - it is possible however t...

Since I posted at “My playback” that I’m using Micro Seiki MAX 282 tonearm I begun to receive emails asking about it’s User Manual. I sent out 5 of 6 of them to whoever asked - I do not know why people need it but if it was what they wanted. The funn...

The Swiss company Da-Vinci Audio that use to make very interesting LC phonocorrector it looks like trying to hit the jackpot with TT design. I look at all the TT that are being made I never stop wondering what the ultimate from my point of view shape...

Anyone contemplating buying a CU-180 should know that it must be dead flat. Even the slightest departure from being flat will negate the benefit of intimate contact across the entire surface of the platter.How flat? Flat enough that the weight of the...

Wow, price inflation in TTs were a lot worse than I thought! (more than 400% in nominal prices in the example of Goldmund).
You are right, the prices in audio seem a riddle wrapped in a mystery within an enigma. As a manufacturer, it is almost...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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 ve...

Oliver,
It might be anything including electricity. Generally compression drivers are very much vulnerable to the electricity problems, muck more than convectional drivers. Let pretend that distortions in powers lines are responsible for worsening o...

I have a lot of respect for several TT designs, including the Micro 8000, for example; but I am very suspicious of this particular TT. The reason is that this TT appears to be more of an intellectual exercise than a "best solution" for the greater pr...

I know Micro Seiki made some turntables with vacuum hold-down. Some branded Luxman were produced by MS too. Then there is Basis and the new TechDas. I have a Versa Dynamics 1.2 and when John ran out of mats I worked with him to find a new supplier...

What really pisses me off is that my second arm/cartridge has a very strange effect that I did not see neither in this arm (Micro 282) not in this cartridge (Ortofon SPU Classic). I am taking about dynamic compression. In fact it is very seldom you c...
|

OK, I understand now when you talk about suspension and will translate to "bearing". I don't know if it needs to be the turntable or the stand but something needs to be responsible for isolation. I have heard good things about the vibraplane and wo...

Hi Wellington and fellow Micro-Seiki fans,I will have to agree with your findings about the CU-180 as well. I have tried a stainless steel mat with similar results.I own two RX-5000's and cant't stress enough the rebuilding of the power supply with n...

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...

Jam, when you first mentioned ZoomSpark perhaps your spellchecker was hyper-active and you meant Zoom Spout. I think it’s this product, right?http://www.highsidechem.com/zoom_spout.htmlOK, so that is ISO 32 (at the bottom of this page) paraffin oil, ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am personally inclined toward the BC scenarios.[/quote]C allows for manipulation of the Platter 1 bearing with different belt tension in a linear fashion that includes a potential nadir in friction. B will hold the ...

Back when I still had an interests to pock the Morons at Audiogon
thread in there where the owners of HS -80 Flywheel told about the benefit of
it and I challenged then:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/micro-sx-8000-ii-or-sz-1

Dear drdna,I agree with you, my explanation was a little audio reviewerish! If you noticed in my first post I just mentioned Sussarro being different to other Moving coils of my experience. To me it has advantage of high compliance cartridges in conv...

Excellent! Looking forward to hearing it. I have been curious about Micro Seiki's but have never even seen one, let alone heard one. A site like you describe would be very useful if it was done in a controlled fashion. The system to make the r...

[quote user="N-set"] I'm still puzzled by the strange polar plot of your Micro (maybe you remember--a pinkfishmedia project aimed at advanced analysis of motor speed instability). Perhaps would be worth to retake the signal with some known test LP.[/...

Thanks Romy, I understand what you're saying about the anti-skate now. Mine is definitely not working, so I'll see if can carefully open it up and have a look. So you dissassembled two arms eh? Were you trying to modify them, or just curious? I'm act...
