Thanks both for your valuable tips. Roy, as per your recommendation, I just bought instead the HK T-30c online, supposedly in pretty good shape, with an Ortofon OM-5E phono cartridge. I can't wait to getting back to record playing. Best regards
Micro Seiki MB-18
I'm looking into buying a turntable for the first time in 20 + years and have found a Micro Seiki MB-18 in mint operational and cosmetic condition. I've done a bit of research on Micro Seikis but couldn't find much info on this one other than the fact that it is an entry level belt driven table. I really love the way it looks and the brand seems to have a good reputation. I don't consider myself an audiophile but do appreciate quality equipment, listen to music often and plan on re-starting a (mini) record collection. Any opinions or additional info would be appreciate it. Thank you

Congratulations! I think you will really enjoy it. Consider setting up the cartridge via an Arc Protractor when you get the H/K: Google Arc-protractor search Best regards, Roy |
Better Arc-Protractor info: Arc-protractor, as this company offers to make them for people. Best regards, Roy |
This is the first time I have jumped in on any thread for any reason but here's why I am now..I just won a Micro Seiki MB-18 for $90 bucks that is supposedly the same as NIB..After reading what was said about the less than normal "Micro Seiki quality" tonearm is the MB-18 no better than your average entry level TT's like say a Kenwood KD-2055? And what about changing the tonearm to a higher end one from another Micro Seiki model? Was the rumble sound something that could be heard audibly or was it the kind of thing only an audiophile with an acute sense of hearing would be able to detect? As you can tell I am pretty new to this hobby and still have much to learn..I have learned to stop trusting sellers on these online classifieds sites just because they "Swear to God" and "Promise" and item is in like new mint condition. |
