    I have 3 Micro Seiki turntable systems: SX-8000, RX-5000, and RX-1500VG. Each of them has its own motor transport, but due to the narrow shelf, I set up the motor transport of SX-8000 for 2 turntables. No problem in operation. Good looking when both are running at the same time.

    • Accuphase DG-38
    Accuphase Voicing Equalizers DG-38. This somewhat unusual term was chosen to symbolize the advanced capabilities of the DG-38. While this product is a full-fledged high-precision graphic equalizer in its own right, it also incorporates a sophisticated system for automatic sound field compensation. It divides the audible frequency range into distinct bands (voices),and lets the user choose a target response curve that is then expressed (voiced)by the unit through a process of precise measurement and adjustment steps. The result is full control over frequency response characteristics at the listening position. Through creative use of the capabilities offered by the DG-38, the scope of sound reproduction in the home environment can be significantly enhanced. Get ready to experience a new dimension of music enjoyment.

Hi Cuong,
I wanted to tell you personally but you did not respond to my invitation for exchanging ideas in Sai Gon. So I guess you are very busy which is fine. Let me try this way. I was comparing the Thorens Reference with the Kelch Reference II I had in my system too. As you got your machines from Anton I know they are very good units!

You are right the Thorens is very musical but also a bit soft on the other hand which depends on one`s taste. The Kelch is more stable and provides a lot of pressure too. Once again it depends on the taste and the combination of arms. I used in both cases the FR-66s and the DaVinci Grandezza with the Lyra Olympos and the Zyx UNIverse in those days.

The Micro SX 8000 ( II ) in a very good condition is not a worse choice especially if you are using a matching anti-vibration base and a flywheel on top. The weak side of the Micros are the motor units (sometimes). There are many possibilities to improve stableness and the precision control of the big Micros.

Hi Cuong,
you seem to be very busy! BTW did you think about room reflections and what kind of measurements you could do. I am pretty sure that the flat walls could receive an improvement and in terms of akustiks this might me another leap frog for your wonderful collection.

Hi Cuong,
you are even more crazy than me - like it. I just decided to spend "my sunny months" from now on in Con Son. My wife convinced me that this is paradise. Maybe we meet in Saigon some day if you like. There are still some interesting tonearms you might like to go for - but you know for sure.
all the best
