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...

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 Romy,When youmdiscuss silicon dumping with your 3012 do you mean the silicon you put on headshell orDo you mean you use a silicon bath to damp the arm resonance, or both? I can't find the thread and I have decided to spend some time with my vinyl ...

It's probably as good or even worse than Acoustic Solid, Acoustic Signature , VPI , Teres , Galibier and army of heavy TT's you don't have to rob a bank and can buy third hand for fraction of original price. My undersanding is there weren't many heav...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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, ...

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...

I was offered to buy Micro seiki RX5000. The seller sent me a short video. If you see it carefully you will notice that the platter moving slightly up and down. Is that that normal or this could be sign that the bearing is not in good condition?

Hi Romy,Yes there was a reason. I typically used four arms on the table, the fourth being a shorter Ortofon rmg-212. The problems with the arrangements of two shorter arms with the two longer arms with the cable exit on bottom of the micro arm (which...

Romy,Intersting indeed, appreaiate and understand your angle.Well we obviously do not know each other. I certainly do not feel like I am "acquiring, evaluating, advancing and reconciling audio equipment" as for most of my system has been the same for...

At the 7-level perceptual paradigm was operating not Sakuma by Cho-sun for Micro-Seiki. Sakuma was not operating in my view at any level but just listed highly band-passed, highly compressed gray sound. Nl, feels that “Systems like these are all abou...

Thank you for sharing these thoughts - it fills me with wonder. I too in the end do not regret the money I spent because sometimes you need to buy the "sounds better than anything ever" amplifier, cartridge or tonearm, and to hear for yourself that i...

[quote user="Dominic"]do you happen to know which models had the air bearing?[/quote] I have seen 777, 1500, 5000, Z1, 8000 with air suspension but I think Micro did also some lighter tables with air. All those models (with exception of 8000 and Z1) ...

Time will tell, but unlike Seiki, BiDat, TU-X1, S2, etc. this may be the first time The Cat's comments drive DOWN the price of a piece of audio gear. ;-)
An interesting experiment would be if you sent Dominus home to Jim for a full fluid transfus...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

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...

To Antonio,
it is not necessary to “to find some mat with those characteristics of yours”. The characteristics of mat would be applicable only I context of the TT you use (platter, suspension and so on). With my Micro 8000 that has very dead soundi...

I have not opened my bearing yet to change the oil, following the philosophy of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. It’s a different situation here than a car’s oil. The seals prevent the oil from being exposed to oxygen, moisture and other contam...

Sorry, but I have to tell you that you do have it backwards on the skating forces. Just Google for a force diagram. Another way to know is to look at how the anti-skating force is applied in arms using the weight, pulley and monofilament line approac...
