Hi,

Rgds,

I have one of my newest Micro Seiki RX-5000 sitting in basement for years and doing nothing and I decided to let it go. I was keeping it for year as some kind of back up TT, in case my 8000 got broken or as TT that I would be able to use at...

Hi Wellington,
Also I'm thinking to make a stainless steel platter for my RX-5000.
As you have good experience with yours could you tell me the exact parameters of the new design (beveled insight edge, thicker deck part). The schematic would b...

Hi Brian,
Thanks for useful infos.
Recently I had possibility to enter in to supplier warehouse to check how the magnet react on different ss materials.
I found some types which attracted the magnet still less than 316L. I'm not an expert in met...

Hi. First time posting. I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000. He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades. He has ow...

Hi. I acquired and spent a lot of time on this guy over the last few months. I've installed a Dynavector 507 MK II tonearm and a Dyhavector XVS-1 cartridge. I read Romy's comments that in his experience with the 8000 the belt doesn't affect the sou...

Well, I know these endless discussions about Seiki but after a while we all have to make a decision. Tuning? Better? Better than what? What is "I like it!"?When doing something - serious - it is mandatory to know what a correct tonal reproduction is....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
I look forward to propose the JUSTNESS AND JUSTNESS IN ANALOG JUDGMENT. If Micro-Seiki RX-5000 SOUNDS better then turntables that are being sold for $75K and if there are some idiots out there who scream that t...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] 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 8...

Hi Measet,The original platter for the RX-5000 was gun metal which I replaced with a platter with a similar platter to Wellington's weighing about 50 lbs. , the other table came from Japan with a original stainless platter made by Micro Seiki (rare)...

My first post here, although I have read some of
the discussions on this site over the years.
I wanted to share my experience with my Micro Seiki RX-5000 and resonance
control of its heavy platter. I have seen posts here befo...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Sorry, I have a better understanding of the purpose of this exercise now.Are you making 2 new platters or is one to be the existing Micro Platter? [/quote]
Nope, juts adding RX-5000 platter and base to the existing RX-8000...

Find another hobby them as to cultivate the Micro fetish is not healthy things to do. A TT is just a tool for getting something ease. If you willing to dedicated your to cultivating tools then it is up to you but be advis...

Hi Measet,The oil I would use is Zoomspout, it works great. I have a platter with a similar profile that Wellington has, my second RX-5000 has a stainless platter made by Micro Seiki with the same dimensions as the original gun metal platter.Just fli...

[quote user="jam"] (maybe another RX-5000 as a
flywheel might work?) If not set up correctly(which can be a pain) it can cause
problems. [/quote]
In my case use the RX-5000 as a flywheel did not work. I
mean it “worked” well from mechanical per...

I have to agree with Wellington. To be fair we both use stainless steel platters (heavier than stock) and use CU-180 mats to damp the platter which ensures an almost dead platter, way better than any acrylic, hard rubber and felt mat I have tried. St...

[quote user="Ciampa"]Good anoon everyone,I am currently running an RY-5500/RX-5000 trough aramid thread. Was wondering wht wd be the ideal thread tension for the system. Wd it be better being tight or loose ? Both cases I get constant platter speed, ...

Wellington,It is my understanding that lead was used because it'a anti an anti-seize properties. The bearing fit is very tight and I suppose this helped with the lubricants of the period and is not a problem with modern synthetics.The bearing does no...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Dear Romy, thanks for your comment. I actually don't want the mat to do "something" for me sonically, but to teach me how far I'm I of my ideal. Knowing your goals and taking for granted that the 8000's platter must be rather...

Hello Jam,
Have you experience also with HS-80?
After I found how the Micro's bearing is behaving with thicker oil I have a feeling that my flywheel has no right or fitting lubrication and therefore I'm not able to setup with...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
I do not think that anyone would be able to “teach” and I do not thin that there is nothing to teach about the mats. A good “sounding” platter does not require any “actions” from mat and the hard rubber mats do exactly...

I found locally a professional mechanist, also I discovered a reliable supplier who can deliver me at relative low-cost the L316 raw material, so I'll start the steel platter project soon.
I just read some post in this thread regarding HS-80 flyw...

Yes we're creating the ultimate turntable so why not.''So can you
imagine adding to a tonearm a function to catching the proximity from
the center and dynamically reset the anti-scatting? How about automated
tonearm’s vertical excursion to compens...
