| Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf just purchased a set of machina dynamica springs and I will report back. | |
| Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf BTW Kip, those Scintilla's in your system look fabulous. I have been messing around with a pair of Stages, great midrange, but their limited size defines real low end output. Bigger Apogees are on my list, and thinking about Magggies as well. I re... | |
| Spectron Remote Sense Cable I did use it before I moved to monoblock configuration and was very happy with the improvement - amp seemed to be more refined and a better sense of spacial presentation. Not a massive upgrade, but also saves messing around with uber expensive cab... | |
| Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf Thanks so much Kip for this support. After a while the motor can get a bit noisy and I believe I messed up my motor by following "informed advice" to oil the spindle shaft because it was noisy and then I ended up having to find a tech in Japan to ... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I have had my IO Sig (single power supply) for a couple of years now and it is naturally musical and explosively dynamic with a wide soundstage. It is very textured as well back to front and that can come across as a bit flat sometimes - but the d... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? Nkj, I would not downplay the quality of your Oracle, it is a very good deck and competes with the best out there.In my system the Oracle is just as nice my Micro-Seiki RX-5000 (comparable with the Raven), albeit each deck has its own sonic signat... | |
| Micro Seiki RX-1500,3000,5000,8000 good or bad turntable? Well I have an RX-5000 and currently run it with a Verus rim drive, the RY-550) was used with a silk thread and the Verus adds more punch, the silk is smoother and and a bit more subdued. For comparison I have (or recently had) Clearaudio, Linn, L... | |
| Sony TTS 8000 w Sony PUA 1600L I have the Victor TT101 in a Japanese heavy lead plinth with soft rubber feet similar to the TB-2000 - works great, total isolation from vibration. I also got the PUA 1600L at the same time and I use that as well on an SP-10 and a Micro-Seiki RX-5... | |
| Best matching phono stage with Zyx Universe cartr. Another vote from me for the Aesthetix IO Sig - my current rig. Although the IO can be relatively noisy (tube rush) with low output mc carts, the UNIverse is just on the right side of the noise level and therfore it is not at all obvious or disatr... | |
| Spectron MIII MKII after market tweeks ? I am using Grover Huffman's cables - I ordered a 3 foot only pair as I have outboard crossovers. Prior to that I used some temp audioquest cables and they did what they needed to. Grover's cables were more clearly refined, lower noise floor and op... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables I concur with Lewm regarding the Lenco, it can be a tweakers dream as well - just like those old Triumph's - OK enough Steve!Best wishes and Happy Holidays to all Audiogoners and Vinylphiles | |
| Ortofon's SPU cartridges outdated? Chris, I have often wondered about the "magic" of the SPU's. Now I see there is an new anniversary SPU-90 coming out in January. How does that model fit into the line up?Best arm synergy (new and vintage?) | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Wow! My analogy to vintage cars was purely from the pride of ownership perspective. Nevertheless since a couple of folks have responded, let me develop the analogy further, just for fun. Vintage sports cars for the consumer had significant trickle... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Chris, there is some serious "audiojewellery" out there - that Thorens would look quite nice in my rig and I bet it doesn't sound too shabby either! Great audio pieces are like great time pieces for me - aesthetics, performance, engineering and fu... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables I am guilty of falling in love with vintage tables and have 6 to prove the point - Micro-Seiki RX5000; Victor TT-101; SP10 Mk2; Lenco L75; Sony PS-X70; Micro-Seiki BL-51; oh and I have an old AR-XA waiting to be revived. Add to these a bunch of ol... |
