Micro RX 5000 Renaissance?


It may be just a coincidence, but looking through the various reports of the recent Munich high end event I've noticed no fewer than four (!) different turntables that all look suspiciously like the Micro RX-5000.

TW Acoustic and Kuzma launched new models visually 'inspired' by the RX-5000 design, Acoustical Systems showed a table that looks like an exact copy and DB Systems (www.micro.nl) also showed an exact copy, leaving no doubt of its objective by simply calling it 'The Tribute'. And then of course there already was the TechDas AirForce 5.

Does anyone know more about these newbies and what's under their bonnets? It would be interesting to compare their performance vis à vis the original and hear how much technology has moved forward. Or not.

While I'm a happy owner of the RX-1500G, the RX-5000 has been on my radar for quite some time. So with this Micro Renaissance going on, should I wait for a mint original to cross my path or should I go for one of these new tables? It seems Micro enthousiasts are now spoiled for choice........

"Every single clone or fake part should be banned, confiscated, and destroyed by customs. I don’t care how old the original is."
So true. So true. So I take it you are all for paying China royalties for all foreign produced tea and alcoholic beverages, all products using gunpowder, paper and all printing......

And best not mention how the Poms stole tea plants from China to start tea growing in India.

And good to see you condemn the whole nation for the transgressions of some. So tell me what you think of the moral compass of the whole of the US given the agonizing deaths as a rsult of this one business profits decision?
