Precision Motor Controller


Hi my Fellow Audiogoners,

 

I have Micro Seiki 1500VG with a outboard power supply/motor. I'm sure most of you know what my 'table looks like. My question is can I hook up something like a Walker or VPI precsion motor contoller. Would I just hook up the precision controller before the motor unit? Does it override the 33/45 controls on my MIcro. Has anybody, by chance, done that to their MS? The reason I'm not interested in changing out the motor is the unit also controls the vacuum hold down, and I just had that, amazingly, fixed. So I don't want to sacrifice that aspect of the Micro. It's amazing how the sound is improved by having a perfectly flat reecord for the arm/cartridge to traverse.

Thanks,for reading this and should you have any answers, talk to me!

The point is you don’t want a controller that varies frequency and/or voltage to provide AC to a micro-seiki that in and of itself is a controller, at least as I understand it. Furthermore neither the VPI nor the Walker might output enough watts to drive the MS. But that’s secondary to the first point.

What Dover said. An AC power regenerator might help, but neither the Walker nor the VPI is appropriate here.
