Hi,

Just got the delivery of Micro Seiki MB-14 in perfect condition.It has never been used new in a box.I haven't plugged it though.It has a voltage rating of 120v 60hz.I have bought Maxcon voltage converter socket, which converts 22v to 110 V and model no is M75A-50 watts.Will this work with this?Please advice.I will add pics later.

Regards,

Sachin

Sachin,
Does the Maxcon say anything about converting from 50 to 60 Hz? If it is only voltage downconversion, speed may be wrong when you play. Why don't you try it out? The only hitch I can think of is the speed issue if freq remains 50Hz.

So freq is taken care of. Are you apprehensive that the voltage from the Maxcon will really be 110V? If that's your worry, please check the voltage using a DMM. I have used a 40W rated (IIRC) Maxcon 220V-to-110V converter and it worked fine on US voltage equipment.

Congrats! how did you pay for it?

Micro Seiki quite possibly could be called the king or turn table manufacturers, it looks very good in those pics you posted.

Its almost INR 20k including custom duty.

That is a reasonable price for the Japanese made piece of art, although this particular turn table is rather very affordable to buy in the second hand turn table market.

Its a very reasonable price for new in a box TT, considering shipping,duty,octroi etc. and its certainly better than current entry level players of similar prices.

Hi Sachin,

WOW, the Micro Seiki looks Gorgeous :licklips: Congrats :)
Please do keep us posted on the TT as the hours are put into it playing your choice of music. The Rosewood Plinth looks beautiful. Hope its sounds as good as it looks.
Please provide the details of the Phono/Amp/Speakers you are going to pair it with. What about the Cart/Tonearm? Lots of questions but request you to answer them as the TT bug is biting me very badly :D

Best Wishes

Congrats on your Micro Seiki Sachu. Read good things about your TT. I would recommend your using a proper stepdown transformer than a Maxcon. I have seen a Maxcon and it does not inspire confidence.

Yup looks superb. Wood grain pattern reminds me of Shaizada's Omegas.
