micro seiki

Hi all audio experts and lovers, I am currently building my "forever system" (or at least a very long-term one) and would love a sanity check from the experienced ears here before I pull the trigger. I'll add as much details for you to help :) I am based in Amsterdam (which means wooden...

Hi, I’m selling my Akai GXC-570D and was offered a fully serviced Micro Seiki DD-24 in trade. I’m on the fence about the trade and wanted some opinions from people more educated about audio gear! So any input is appreciated. The tape deck is in excellent condition and fully functional, only...

I recently purchased this beautiful Micro Seiki MR-111 manual turntable. I saw the motor in operation when I purchased it but the owner didn’t have an amp to test it. It was super cheap ($40) so I thought I’d take a punt. When I got it home and plugged it into my JVC A-X2 amp, it had a lot of...

Hi All (and especially anyone with Japan experience), I just picked up a Micro-Seiki SX-555FVW with a RP-1110 pump at an auction in Japan, and am hoping to have it serviced before I pick it up in Japan later this year or early next year. I previously had Amp8 overhaul a Micro-Seiki RX-2000...

Hi All, I recently acquired a vintage Micro-Seiki RX-2000 turntable with a RY-2200 motor unit at auction in Japan. Here's the item (complete with gunmetal platter). https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/j1149750076 The problem is that the motor unit has a pulley for use with 60 hz electricity...

Hi, I was sold this as a Micro Seiki MA-101 which, now that it is in hand, obviously is not. The only writing on it is a Japan mark embossed on body. Seems to be well made and operates smoothly.

Since there is not much known to this specific model due to the lack of a SM or any other authentic materials, I suggest to gather data according given evidence. This is possibly of general interest for any Micro Seiki fan as it contributes and completes the identification and mapping of the...

A friend of mine that does audio repair is working on his Micro Seiki DD-100 but has been unable to come across a wiring schematic or service manual of any kind. Anyone have anything they can provide to help? He’s trying to resolve some erratic speed issues. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys I’m rebuilding a vintage Luxman turntable which doesn’t have an arm but I’d like to put a reasonably priced and performing vintage tonearm on her. Has anyone used both of these arms? How did they compare? Characteristics/strengths/weaknesses?

Hi everyone, as always time is of the essence. A Luxkit PDK-131 just came available locally for a great price (Without tonearm of course but I enjoy the thought of picking my own anyways.) There's virtually no info out there on PDK turntables and scarcely any on the PD Micro line from the mid...

Hi, Does anyone here know where to get hold of replacement feet for a Micro Seiki RY-1500 (the motor part for the RX-1500)? If anyone knows what these feet are called – I assume they have a part no. – I'd very much like to know. I haven't been able to find it.

Here I am, listening quite happily to the new 180 gram pressing of The Birth of the Cool. But getting there was a TRIP!. 1. System I started with: Sony's first digital preamp, something with an ES in it from early 90s, 2 Sony TA-N330ES amps strapped mono, a Sony ES tuner that was kinda...

Hi all I've re-found my old MB.14 and had to replace the belt as the old had rotted away. (AND aqcuire a pre-amp, but that irrelevant here and now.) Everything is clean and tidy and works, but the speed control is weird and I can't figure out why... Everything seems so damn simple and...

Aka Rotel RP-1000, aka Micro Seiki DD23. What are your thoughts on this turntable, would anyone recommend it? Direct drive, S-shaped arm & comes with AT91 cartridge. I saw one on sale for around $30, and it seemed to be in perfect condition, but when I approached the seller for more...

It's obvious someone has already done something to the turntable. It looks like it has been converted from 110v to 220v but am not sure. The soldering looks somewhat poorly done which would lead me to believe someone who's inexperienced worked on this. Is there any quick test I can run to see...

Hey Everybody, First post here although I've been lurking for many years, enjoying the breadth of knowledge and passion. I'm trying to decide on a new cart for my Micro Seiki MB-14 (S-shaped tonearm). I'm not trying to spend more than 200. I run the table through a Tandberg 2025 and a pair...

Looking to buy however the prices seem to be all over the place so I was wondering what a decent price would be if it's just the turntable without tonearm I can't really seem to find any sold listings and it's really hard to put a value on a tonearm if it doesn't sell very often (especially the...

I just got one with a stanton 681 eee cartridge and it sounds pretty good has some background noise though. I like the tone arm but from what I have read about this turntable it seems to be an entry level turntable from luxman kinda surprised by this since it goes for around 300-400 euros on the...

So I recently got these 2 turntables and I got a pretty good deal on both (370 on the technics with arm and 250 on the dd-33). However I am not sure what I should do with them I don't need both but I like them both so I took to this message board hoping that you guys could help me with the...

So I have just recently gotten the option of buying a micro seiki dd-33 with a stanton eee 681 for 250 euros which seems like a great price but I have never had a micro seiki before so I have no idea if it's worth it. I have recently heard that the ar-xa is an exeptional turntable and since it's...

Shot in the dark - anyone owned/heard both of these (or similar models) and had a chance to compare? Looking for a budget belt drive turntable for a second system, want something basic, a decent performer with auto lift & shutoff, so these two seem to fit the bill. People seem to like the Dual...

I look at what goes on in forums and on the bay - and even the most basic Micro Seiki TT's have a constant and strong demand. I can easily understand the demand for the higher models, but what is it about the lower models that make them desirable?

I wanted a Micro Seiki DDX-1000 or a DQX-1000 for a long time, but it was always a bit above budget. But, as the hobby grows, the need to upgrade grows as well as many of you may know :D So I decided to sell my Yamaha YP-D8 en went looking for a Micro Seiki. Not very easy to locate one in the...

Hi All, I am fabricating an SME armboard for my Micro Seiki DQX-1000 and I got most down, but I am missing one important measurement on the arm board. That is the distance between the center over SME mount hole (or edge) and to the hole for mounting on the TT? Anbody? Would really like if...

Hi all, need some information on the "Micro" for Marantz turntable. It shows it is a TT2000, but it is like no TT2000 that I can find. I know google is my best friend, but I can't seem to find ANY information regarding this table. I was told that it was made by Micro-Seiki and I know it is...
