Today I concluded what I suspected from the beginning: in the double-deck configuration I lost some bass. I know that Micro did some heavy mass stabilizers for their TT and some other companies did the same. People clamed that sound got “better...

We do distinguish between micro and macrodynamics because they rarely cohabit the same musical environment, except possibly for the performing musicians. If I am close enough to be continually aware of microdynamics I don't want to hear a sforzando ...

Just add a pair of small Ino Audio speakers and your LTS associated setup is done. :-)http://www.faktiskt.se/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8994&list=fullSeriously, I'd pester the very reluctant manufacturer (former LTS head hon...

Wonder if ordinary "di-electric grease" would work on tube pins? Anyone ever try it?It works for old car distributors and electrical service connections, which is to say, other high votage applications.Like I said in the ML2 thread a few p...

Last night a friend of my visited me and we spend an evening listing Wagner. He played Wagner himself a lot and he begin to make comments about sound of different sections and instilments in my room. I stopped him as Macondo in the new is no wher...

Yep, I fixed it. If does sound very good now, exactly how it has to be. It turns out that my suspicion were correct: my Micro’s fat cable has died on me. I absolutely assure you that no one would believe that a regular phono cable able to introd...

[quote user="Dominic"]do you happen to know which models had the air bearing?[/quote] I have seen 777, 1500, 5000, Z1, 8000 with air suspension but I think Micro did also some lighter tables with air. All those models (with exception of 8000 and Z1) ...

[quote user="Gibraltar"] Not sure what you're suggesting here. Are you saying that I should be able to hear some channel imbalance from the surface noise if the anti-skate is not working? I did try removing the arm tube then turning the anti-skate di...

As in physics the Unified Field Theory formed by Einstein does not have an accepted agreeable conclusion in audio there is no unified audio design ideology. It is not only no audio design ideology but there is no unifie...

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....

I today was abusing my damn Second arm, trying to get my bass back from it. It was not that it had no bass but it was very shallow and very different bass. It had a feeling that it was not from there, it was almost as some kind of time delay in b...

Do you European guys know anything about this German company?

I usually do not do the Audiogon posting. There are too many idiots in there and they are under too much protection of the douchebags that run that site. Not to mention that I well remember WHY I was “banned” from Audiogon to begin with:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]About the new Micro TT, I do think that this is essentially the Micro 8000 with contemporary face lift and it shall sound like Micro 8000. It might be a little better or little worse, no one knows and frankly no one would/s...

[quote user="Paul S"]But you aren't using the tube rectifier, are you?!?[/quote] Nope I do not. I cancel the contribution to sound from rectifiers and “sonic quality” of chokes by using substantial value of blocking cap that does not allow AC to go ...

George,
I do not think that the 3 motors example of Clearaudio is applicable. Theoretically it correct and a single motor driving a platter coastally minor-swing it on it’s bearing. In realty the things are more completed. With enough mass of platte...

I saw this turntable while over at the show in Munich. It is called Air Force 1. Allegedly there are Micro Seiki people behind it. There might be some truth in that.[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/murrayjohnson/P1010101.jpg[/IMG]A Micro f...

The worsening quietly of Metropolitan broadcasts is not a secret to anyone but did anyone notice that those hoodlums this session become even more obnoxious. Now the MET FM broadcasts are not live anymore but they are A/Ded, then come to some kind of...

I need to note that MicroTTs, American Sound and a few other TTs with very heavy palter are complicated subjects. From one perspective a heavy platter is the key. I remember years back a few years Lechintsky published mathematical equivalents of TT ...

Tks Romy, well...the SME has actually a mass of 9.5gr. Could eventually use a Micro MA505 with a slightely higher mass (guess around 11gr), have u ever tried it with the Shelter ? Was also wondering if the Ortofon T30 cd be used with some sense to ch...

I did look at the thread at A’done and I assure that they are idiots. The guy claims that Micro Seiki. Wonderful table but it does need tweaking and labor - almost constantly. I has been living with Micro for a while and I know no single tweak that w...
