Micro Seiki ddx-1500


What are the sonic qualities of the Micro Seiki ddx-1500 turntable?

Neutral, Warm, Cool? Prat?

Is it lively like many direct drive turntables? I own a Lenco, which I enjoy and was thinking of trying other vintage tables, such as the ddx-1500 or a technics sp10 mk2.

Thanks for your thoughts. Jeff

Harmut,
Thanks. I read in some blog that the DDX-1500 started as a belt drive design. If true, it would seem consistent with being a better string drive than direct drive.

Do you prefer the Micro string drive to the sp10 mk2?
Hartmut,
" ... string driven Micros are in another class, though."
What sonic quality do you prefer about the string drive Micros?

Does that hold true for you for all string drives or just he Micros, when compared to the DD drives? Just curious.

Best, Jeff
I have seen a couple of Micro Seiki "ddx-1500 rx" turntables, which confuses me.

Is the ddx-1500 a direct drive than can be made into a string drive by adding an outboard pulley/motor?
