Recently, since I‘m doing some remodeling of my turntable, there was some noise on my site about Micro Seiki turntables. I really do not want to push my site toward to becoming one of the typical audio fetish sites but in context of this thread I wou...

Hi, George
First off all I have to mention that I use Max 282 as my “second” arm. I mean my best stereo cartridge I use with 3012 as I feel that it has more interesting lover bass and upper bass then 282. The 282 has slightly hollow and slightly bor...

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...

[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) ...

Hello Romy,I have been using the Max 282 with a Koetsu Urushi Platinum .2mV the last 6 months with excellent results to my ears. I have a few mundane questions that I could use some help with.I am using the fixed headshell "pipe." Have you found any ...

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...

I have a micro seiki dd-30, and cannot find the headshell. My 20 yr old son has taken an interest in vinyl, and I would like to make the turntable usable for him! My question is, is there any other headshell that can be used on this table? I cannot...

Do not believe me, I do not believe myself! I would like to tell you honestly that if this thing would be said by other person I would accept it as a pure BS because I have no reasoning to believe that it might be true…. but it is what actually what ...

Yes, I had 4 Micros 5000 and one of them was almost glued platter. You need to flip it upside down and hit with a small hammer to knock to the TT’s back, in the bearing. It will eventually slide out. To service Micro Seiki 5000 is kind of tricky… I d...

|
Sorry, I do not follow you. If I remember correctly the regular, non-air-bearing Micro 5000 has a few inches long cylinder that is sitting in a shaft that serves as a horizontal bearing. For virtual bearing they use a small metal ball under the botto...

What a lovely picture.Hi Romy,Many thanks for the valuable information. By fingerlift I mean that piece of metal sticking out about 1" (1/8" wide) at the extreme left end of the pipe. It is attached by two screws to the pipe. It looks easily removabl...

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...

It seems over the course of Micro's big TTs they came out with bigger and bigger armboards. They all started with single-post boards, then at some point they started selling the double-post boards (maybe with the SX-8000), then finally with the SX-50...

Yep, I fixed it. If does sound very good now, exactly how it has to be. It turns out that my suspicion were correct: my Micro’s fat cable has died on me. I absolutely assure you that no one would believe that a regular phono cable able to introd...

Did you buy the Denon?I'm curious because Denon D-M31 (speakers not included) is on a recommended components list by the Swedish LTS (Sound Technical Society). Things with zero or low detected coloration, after meticulous listening tests, end up...

Hi Romy,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I would discard the test disk truck– I never use it. Take a silent space between the cuts (test disk!) and make a needle at your operational VTF to be in stationary ay a bit more than a half record.In fact it is ar...

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...

[quote user="Ciampa"]Good anoon everyone,I am currently running an RY-5500/RX-5000 trough aramid thread. Was wondering wht wd be the ideal thread tension for the system. Wd it be better being tight or loose ? Both cases I get constant platter speed, ...

Do you European guys know anything about this German company?

It looks like they have new production of Görlich drivers and it looks like they use aluminum. It looks like they do it for automobiles, wh...

Hello, this is my first post here - this is a wonderful web site, critical and fair - a lot of knowledge here and i consider you real connoiseurs - that's why i'm hoping to resolve my problem here.
I have a Micro Seiki SX-111FVL - the big L one, a...

Just add a pair of small Ino Audio speakers and your LTS associated setup is done. :-)http://www.faktiskt.se/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8994&list=fullSeriously, I'd pester the very reluctant manufacturer (former LTS head hon...

[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...

[quote user="Gibraltar"] Not sure what you're suggesting here. Are you saying that I should be able to hear some channel imbalance from the surface noise if the anti-skate is not working? I did try removing the arm tube then turning the anti-skate di...

Wonder if ordinary "di-electric grease" would work on tube pins? Anyone ever try it?It works for old car distributors and electrical service connections, which is to say, other high votage applications.Like I said in the ML2 thread a few p...
