| LP playback vs Reel tapes made from LP If you have a very good LP setup then tape will not sound alike to LP unless you got for 15ips, high bias tape and high bias machine. Still, there is some lost of space and corruption of imaging that it very hard to get on tape if you have a truly... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 T_bone, where did you see me said that 8000 does not need isolation? Well, I know that those people understand only imperative sentences and do not use own minds . Anyhow. I have written today a large conclusive post and posted it, withdrawing m... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 **** Fm_login when you went from two to one TT and 6 to 4 arms was that upgrade or had you decided what arms/carts are best for you? In your opinion do you gain most analog experimentation from step-up/phono?My setup is openly-known and my evoluti... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 *** I like the " intrinsic " performance of the 5000 but as you know it is a unfinished product where we need to add to the unit : footers or some kind of damping platform, a TT mat and a platter damping. I address all those factors trying to have... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 Thuchan, you are talking about environments and the system setups, which is very primitive and incorrect way to understand what I said. T_bone the derivation of Japanese listening audio preferences from phonetic structure of Asian language is no... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 *** I would never use a belt - not on a Micro Seiki nor on any other "belt drive" TT. A belt is always a source of instability and in worst case much more than a filter.Come on, it acts as filter equivalent no matter what you do and an no matter w... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 *** What is here disputed about the Micro Seiki skeleton TT's was already done so widely and brought to conclusion by the later 1980ies. Micro Seiki introduced the Hs-20 and HS-80 to further improve the performance of the RX-1500, RX-3000, RX-5000... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 **** As some know here, I am shortly moving to the SXC-8000 Mk1 with vacuum platter, and so it will be interesting to hear the differences.Radicalsteve, so you were apparently the person who got the 8000 MK1 from this site a few days back. Congrat... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 Radicalsteve, applying a damping material inside the platter does not work, I have tried it. Using different TT mats do work very fine, try a sorbothane mat atop the Micro with a layer of very hard rubber atop of sorbothane. I cant give you speci... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 Dertonarm, I passed the period in my life when I was trying to educate people. You stopped react because you lost your anger, I stopped to educate when it not worth it because I got wisdom and experience to deal with currently angry or formally an... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 Kipdent, I had HS-80 flywheel a few years back. A friend of my got it and you used it with SZ-1. He also reported an improvement, but he (how ironic it is!) reported absolutely different improvements. So, I got HS-80 and tried to use it with 5000 ... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 Thuchan, I am not preconditioned by anything and partially by any church. I based my judgment upon my experience, it well known.Dertonarm, I am sorry but you are wrong. There is no such a thing as proper aligned flywheel in opposite position a... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 Thuchan, the mater is not in the bearings type but in the self-damping characteristics of platter. The 8000 has fine platter that is good enough itself, particularly if you have white platter. The 5000 has very ringy platter. It might be addresse... | |
| Micro SX-8000 II or SZ-1 *****************************************************I am considering now buying a second SX 8000 II because it should be the best solution for the inertia function. Means: the RY-5500 II motor unit drives the first SX-8000II, and the SX-8000 II d... |
