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...

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...

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...

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...

[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 ...

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...

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...

[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...

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...

I would love to find somebody who would claim Micro Seiki descendents as they owe me $13K… Anyhow, about the TT. I never seen it and it looks good. My only concern is the presence of superfluous space between platter and user. What I mean is that the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
I look forward to propose the JUSTNESS AND JUSTNESS IN ANALOG JUDGMENT. If Micro-Seiki RX-5000 SOUNDS better then turntables that are being sold for $75K and if there are some idiots out there who scream that t...

I usually do not do the Audiogon posting. There are too many idiots in there and they are under too much protection of the douchebags that run that site. Not to mention that I well remember WHY I was “banned” from Audiogon to begin with:

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...
