If it’s as good as the BL-91, it’s exceptional. If, as the higher number suggests, it’s even better, I can’t imagine how. If it has the 505 tonearm, I’m not a big fan. It’s very good, don’t get me wrong, with a great feature I’ve never seen elsewhere: VTF on the fly. But to hear the 111’s maximum potential, I might consider other arms. The 505’s resale value is high, so a change would be at least partially self-financing.
Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ?
Hi,
I have been looking to try out a belt drive TT. I was suggested to look at Micro Seiki options, especially RX-1500 and RX-5000. I have not yet been able to locate a reasonably priced ones. But I have an option of buying a well maintained BL-111 for a good price. How good is the 111 ?
P.S: I am not very enchanted with the modern TT offerings.
