AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Micro Seiki DD-1 DC servo direct-drive turntable

Very good and rare turntable from the golden hi-fi era, made in Japan

Micro Seiki turntables have meanwhile achieved a mythical status among vinyl enthusiasts and hi-fi purists, one of the best machines ever built

These turntables are built to a very high standard and run like a Swiss clock

The DD-1 uses neither a drive belt nor an idler wheel. The DC servo motor drives the platter directly, resulting in the lowest possible vibrations transmitted to the tonearm

Visually in very good condition, with only very minimal signs of use on the player itself

The dust cover has been refinished and is clear, though with some signs of use (dents and a few scratches). See the photos for details

Very good S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and lateral (anti-skating)

Equipped with the original Micro Seiki headshell and cartridge with a good stylus

Hinges also still in perfect condition, the lid stays nicely open as it should

Runs smoothly and steadily, the sound quality is truly excellent

Equipped with pitch control for precise fine adjustment of the desired speed

Please view the detailed photos; they are part of the item description (the pictured LP is not part of the purchase)

The turntable will be packaged with the utmost care and shipped insured with track & trace

That is: the platter packed separately, arm fixed and the counterweight removed

The whole is packed in bubble wrap and soft foam, in a sturdy box

The stated shipping costs are for delivery to mainland Europe. For overseas areas and islands (Canary Islands, Azores, Madeira) shipping costs on request. We always seek the most affordable and reliable way to ship the equipment
