I just would like to squeeze your GRANDMASTER'S knowledge: I also could get a Micro Seiki MR-322 for R6.500 in Bryanston and a Micro Seiki MR-311from another company , also in Cape Town. Your honest, uncoloured and short opinion PLEASE !!!

Hi Ari Thanks a lot ......I have come to the same conclusion and I think I am going to take one (after the Micro Seiki was sold under my ar.....

Hi Deon, I am 80 and I am long time finished with fiddling/tweaking anything , except my finances :p.....I have narrowed down my selection to Micro Seiki -if affordable- and Thorens TD 150 .......In view of the above I will only purchase a pre-loved unit from a reputable dealer-No Private Sales...

Hi Achim...Thank you for your advice BUT I am 80 years old but still quite active however I live in a retirement village and I certainly do not have any desire to have 2 or 3 TTs plus 2 Amps etc. I am quite happy with the equipment I have but longed for something new in the TT...

I must apologize and I don't know what is the matter, why regularely - when typing-letters and words are jumping elsewhere -even if the cursor is at the right position...Must investigate..... I will do so....thanks for all your input...

Hi Tonteldoos, You are correct of course (everybody is correct iphile worthy nfact)....enquiring about a ifferent TTHOWEVER I am 80 and over and have no desire to climb on the Upscale ladder. I am with this TT since middle 80s , initially paired with a NADmkII and Td 166 2020 and then with a...

Yep,I saw .....Thanks ...tough luck...but there are others in Bryanston but a little more expensive. I saw also one or two "private sales" but I don't do with turntables..Let's wait and see.

Hi Marius That sounds interesting.The Rega is original except the LINN BASIK arm whichwas added later and the 3 feet which perished over time. The late Mike gave it a work-over and only cleaned ,the spindel bearing housing and added a drop special oil. Otherwise the TT incl. motor (vibration &...

Thank you....I thought the answer would not be easy.......But I am thinking...thinking...thinking

Many thanks for your wisdom .I am also a veteran but only in years and due to my age (80) there is without any doubt some hearing "curtailment" evident mostly concerning higher frequencies. This means I would not really suffer any audible quality loss (at least not to my hearing) with the...

I have a beautiful and mechanical/electrical immaculate REGA PLANAR 3 from 1985 /86.The arm is a LINN Basik Plus paired with a Ortofon Quintet Blue MC. The motor is perfect and noiseless,no rumbles or other undesirables...Totally Immaculate. I am playing with the idea of getting a MICRO SEIKI...

I only wanted to buy one amp from him ....months back.- a big oldish Sony ...V8.but it was already reserved....Obviously someone near Cape Town has a HUGE advantage because once the ad appears the shop can be visited within the hour. I tried a second time for anothef item and it was already...

Thanks a ton but I have found someone in Fairland/Johannesburg who is also doing deck (Cassettes and Reel/Reel) repairs and maintenance. He found that the slider units were slightly bent (inside the deck), he straightened them , added a drop of lubricant and they now work perfectly. While...

I have aquired a Sony TC-FX6 cassette deck and found that the 2 horizontal sliders are moving quite heavily. Is there anyone recommended by you guys to maybe have a look-see and fix the problem ? Thanks

Never mind......

I am a re-born Tape Enthusiast (not neccessaryan Audiophile) and recently have come into posession of some 30 or so privately recorded cassettes-mostly TDK Ds and BASF which are in pristine condition and most cassettes have been recorded on only once. Having read about the proper storage of...

I am a re-born (the first birth was during the 80s and 90s) audio cassette tape enthusiast (not quite a Tapehead !) and after a long absence from this medium I have 3 questions pertaining to the rewinding (Forward / Reverse) of quite a few pre recorded cassettes in excellent condition (mostly...

I only knew him for a year but he enriched my knowledge about turntables, arms and cartridges etc massively.......an excellent teacher and a great human being. RIP Mike

I was off air for nearly 2 months due to a protracted move into our retirement village and only heard now about Mike's passing. I met Mike a year ago when he revived my original Rega Planar 3 from a long slumber and wish I could do the same for him now....Al the tips and advice he gave - no...
