Micro seiki bl-91 turntable with tonearm and Mission Cartridge

I know Rega made an excellent turntable. Thanks for your input.

Had a BL-91 back in the 80's, with a Sumiko Arm (not The Arm). Sounded quite nice. Big step up from a Rega 3, which it replaced.

@signmanrich: your system is more than good enough to add a good phono amp, hook up the BL-91 and start enjoying vinyl. I'd say keep it in the family! The addition of the CU-180 copper mat will definitely lift its performance considerably, but buying one today will cost you almost as much as the table itself!

Edgewear: I appreciate your input and knowledge. My dad really enjoyed his vinyl collection and listening to music. I sold his Mark Levinson ML-150 last year.I also  have an Audio  Research solid state amplifier which I am having a new meter light installed into.
I myself have a Counterpoint 2000 pre amp with a Parasound amp that was designed by the guy that designed  the Krell amps. Probably not quite audiophile worthy but still enjoyable to listen to over my  KEF 104 speakers. I definitely will consider putting the feet on the table. Wish he had one of the copper platter mats!

No problem selling this I guess, as Micro’s are much sought after these days. The BL-91 is the model where things start to get interesting. It has the same bearing as the RX-1500 series, so it can even be upgraded with the RT-2000 gunmetal plateau. The only real weakness is the crappy feet. But replace those by something more substantial and you get a major sonic improvement. I have a BL-91 in my second system and use it with four Finite Elemente Cerabase feet. This is perhaps overdoing it a little bit, but I had these lying around doing nothing anyway. The Micro arm you refer to is okay, but the BL-91 can appreciate a much better arm. I use it with an FR-64S.

As for value, that’s all over the place. These tables sold in fairly large numbers, so they’re not rare and Micro’s tend to last. The BL-91 without arm & cart can be found under $1000, although eBay sellers constantly try to inflate that price level. But why sell? If you post on this site I have to assume you are an audiophile. Just keep in mind that a good condition BL-91 can compete with just about ANY modern turntable under $2500, provided you replace those standard feet.
