Description: Micro DD-8 direct drive Turntable DescriptionThis is a prestigious turntable from Micro Seiki, a renowned name in record players. It is a product that combines a heavyweight turntable with a quartz lock, mounted on a sturdy base, and incorporates the dynamic tonearm MA-505. At 45 rpm, there seems to be a slight lower speed, and the standby lamp that should go off when reaching the set speed does not turn off. However, at 33 rpm, there are no issues, and it can play LP records normally with the cartridge I have. The arm installed is the dynamic balance MA-505, which is also sold separately, and it operates without any problems including needle pressure adjustment, inside force canceller, and oil-lift lifter. It has been placed on the top shelf of a rack for many years, so the appearance have some dust on it, but there is no rust or corrosion on the metal parts, maintaining a reasonably good condition. The acrylic dust cover has very minimal scratches, and the condition of the player base and insulators is also good. Standard tonearms may put weight imbalance on the needle pressure due to their design, but the dynamic balance tone arm applies needle pressure with a spring after balancing the weight both front and back. This design makes it less susceptible to impacts like arm base vibrations, ensuring stable tracing. However, due to the higher cost and precision required, this feature is limited to high-priced tonearms. The turntable mat is either original or made of Pioneer's butyl rubber, although it is uncertain. Cartridge and headshell are not included. Also, the original pin cable that comes with it is not included. As this product has been manufactured for over 40 years, we cannot guarantee permanent operation.
