    Micro (Seiki) pop!

    I have a Micro (Seiki) MR-322 that I really like. One slight annoyance though. The motor turns on automatically when you lift the tonearm off the arm rest and it shuts off when you place the tonearm back. Each time the motor starts or stops there is an audible click that comes through the...

    After having acquired my second TD-160 to adjust and sell, I noticed some differences but the one about the motor pulley really strikes me: this is the pulley in the TD-160 I already posted about here.

    DIY Turntable Advice Needed!

    Hello everyone! I'm willing to start a pretty ambitious project: building my own turntable! I want to stay pretty simple with a classic look: a 33/45 belt-driven platter with solid wooden plinth and wooden faceplate. And I'm really loving this project so far! I do have a few technical...
