I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8000. What's the deal with Micro Seiki, anyway? Are they still in business? I haven't found a website.
Micro Seiki is gone. In March 2001 Micro was last time officially public and then they went to dark. I would what would you need a TT. You are in LA, aren’t you? I am sure that there are some good FM stations in LA. Get yours a tuner and you might get much more gratifying experience from audio.

So how about a "special" MM (moron mercury) jet?
If the this thing ever will be built then the Frame-Morons who will sell it need to find an evidence that the technology were demilitarized or were flying in space. Hey, do you know that Russian astronauts use hammers in space that are filed with mercury in order to prevent the hammers bounce back after a hit?

Visiting the Paris Hifi Show a couple of times in the late 80's I saw a turntable with a heavy platter floating in a bath of exposed!!! mercury. The people running the demo did not look well (grey pallor, lacking hair) and looked even worse the second year. I didn't see them again after that! http://www.bonavolta.ch/hobby/en/audio/td_hg.htm
I love it. I particularly like this: “Although this project seems interesting, I strongly advise you NOT to build it.” What however is very practicable is some kind of sealed TT mat of 2-3 cm tall, fully filed with mercury. It would be 10kG of inertial mass – it might work… The question is how?
