Thanks for the info Steve. I like the Steelhead flexibility. Does the Chinook have multiple inputs?I plan on eventually upgrading my preamp from a Rowland Synergy IIi to a Rowland Corus and eventually 302 amp to a Rowland 625 or the 725 monos. I w... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Maril555, If you ever wind up somewhere near Tulsa, Ok, I can arrange both the RX-5000 and AC-1 in the same system for audition. It's a long way from Philly though. Just don't know where your travels take you. You are correct. As dealer networks a... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Pcosta,Great points about the TW North American importer. I think it can't be better described than by this link:http://www.stereophile.com/content/high-water-sounds-and-ithe-architecture-lossiI love the last quote by Jeff: While the music washed ... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
In fairness to the MS RX-5000, the one I tried is stock with no mods except for a few replaced parts in the motor. Don't have specific details about it as the table is borrowed. I'm actually returning it this evening. It was fun to have it while I... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Rsf507,I think you will find quite a few TW owners who haven't experienced those issues. I can tell you I have the blackest backgrounds, lowest noisefloor, great tight bass and shoe-tapping rhythm and pace. Great depth, sound staging, air and musi...

Maril555, agree with you on our micro-sample size. I just long for more objectivity and no personal attacks or pompous attitudes on these boards. Makes them less fun, less informative.Good luck on your search - you probably can't go wrong in eithe... 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
For what it's worth, the speed stability on my TW AC-1 is rock solid using the Feikert Adjust program. Including a center weight and stylus drag as factors. Same for 33 and 45 rpm. I'm using a dedicated 20A circuit and a Cardas Golden Ref power ca...

Some of you guys would never make it in the medical world where patient's lives depend on large, randomized controlled trials, objectivity and leaving egos at the door. Geez, this is a great hobby for music lovers. Everyone can't be right, and eve...

Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Goldenearguy speaks wisely - all designs are compromisesnothing is perfectpeople can only draw and share info from own personal experiences$10K is a nice chunk of changeNo matter what - make all attempts to listen to each table you are considering... 
Looking for hi value CD/SACD player...
I'm currently using the SA-8004. Solid on CD/SACD and can use the optical inputs to use the player as a stand alone DAC with iPod/iPad/iPhone or stream from any hard drive or wireless with Apple TV or other wireless device. A ton of product for th... 
VPI Platter Spinning SLOWLY
Check plastic pulley on the motor. There should be a small Allen wrench site on the side. Make sure it is tight. 
Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
I have a friend with a Micro Seiki. Wonderful table but it does need tweaking and labor - almost constantly. He has the table down well over 50% of the time as he waits for parts, etc. Finding parts are becoming an issue for him.The TW AC-1 is a t...
