just purchased a set of machina dynamica springs and I will report back.
Micro Seiki RY-5500 motor noise repair pdf
I recently acquired a wonderful turntable, the Micro Seiki RX-5000. I found there is scant information available on the Internet about this vintage 'table, and when I encountered some noise issues with my RY-5500 motor unit and discovered how to fix it, I thought it would be beneficial make a set of instructions freely available. Go to the following URL and click on the page icon to view and download these instructions. Enjoy!

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 |
