Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf
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! http://www.vinylengine.com/library/micro-seiki/ry-5500.shtml Kip |
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. Raul. |
Hello Raul .......... I have had both the AT-616 and EquaRacks on the 5000 and I would give the nod to the EquaRack, although the AT-616's are very good and clearly superior to cone type devices. Nevertheless, experimentation to date a DIY has a compression spring base in the lead position for the most effective isolation system. I a hoping that the machina dynamica spring system will give a benchmark comparison. I am a firm believer that effective isolation of the RX-5000 is very important as there are lots of inherent internal resonances from the chassis, platter and arm board interfaces. They must have an impact on sound - as does the wood and resins used in a violin define its tone n'est pas? Steve |
Dear Steve: Yes you are right. The Rx 5000 has no isolation and we need to take care about. I never hear a MS 5000 on a spring isolation system but there is no reason why does not works fine. Till today I don't know the perfect TT isolation because this subject has many interactions overall and some isolation systems are very good in some " areas " and other systems in other areas. Yes, I know that certainly there are better isolation ways than the AT-616 but these ones works for me and I never have the opportunity to test a different one in my system. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul. |
