Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf

Steve--

Thanks for your reply. I am beginning to learn that proper isolation is something I really need to explore for the Micro 'table, so any help you can provide would be very welcome!

Kip,
In the past, I have had some success using laboratory equipment isolation equipment (Herz, Kinetic Systems (the makers of Vibraplane), Shima-Koki, etc). This lowers the resonant frequency of the TT base to 2-3Hz in both the horizontal and the vertical plane. The air suspensions require 'maintenance' (filling/topping up the bladders every now and then) but it's easy. If you go for the truly active suspensions, they cost a fair bit more money (though some swear by them). They can be found used on 'that other auction site' for a lot less than new.

just purchased a set of machina dynamica springs and I will report back.

Hey everyone--the Vinyl Engine kindly posted my repair instructions on their web site and it is easier to download it from there. I'm appreciative!

Dear Kip: I use Audio Technica AT-666 pneumatic footers: four in the main unit on the MS each footer and three in the PS. Works great.

A proper isolation is a must to achieve the " best " on the RX 5000.

Btw, tremendous/great job you made with those lovely Apogees, congratulations!

Regards and enjy the music.
