Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1


I'm trying to decide between Micro Seiki RX 5000 and TW AC-1.
They are approx. the same price used (about $10K)
Both are belt drive.
Unfortunately, I don't have a first hand experience with either of the tables.
You can see my current set-up in my system page.
The reason, I want to make a change from DD TT to belt drive is just to try a different approach.
Also, I have a feeling, that the bass would be one of the areas, where MS and TW might have an edge over my current DD Technics SP-10 MkII
My endeavor into analog is fairly new, so I'm not sure what my final choice in analog would be, unless I try it in my own system.
What I'm really interested in is the following:
Sonic differences b/w MS, TW and Technics SP-10 MkII
Reliability
Service availability.

The fact of the matter this table did not live up to my expectations at all contradicts the experience of the savvy Raven owners club.
My negative experience simply flies in the face of the online TW group including glowing multi award winning reviews of said product which underlines an endless parade of grossly over priced under performing audio products,

But of course it had to be my mid fi notions and practices that stifled the stunning performance of this $17,000.00 wonder and I never even got a kiss after the shagging, did you Dev?
In fairness to the MS RX-5000, the one I tried is stock with no mods except for a few replaced parts in the motor. Don't have specific details about it as the table is borrowed. I'm actually returning it this evening. It was fun to have it while I did.
Dear Raul,
my Micro Seikis SX 8000 II and the 8000 II have no problem with speed. Allnic and Timeline (red laser) stay still on the spot. Speed Stability is possible with these designs. You need to work with them. Maybe you did not in your Mexican Group. If you want sugestions you know my e-mail address.
Dear Pcosta,
i hope you are not pleading for a "stay happy with what you have status". But do understand and accept if you a not engaging in a controversial debate. In my case I could then stay at home and forget exchanging ideas.
Regarding the Micro Seiki supply line there are many dealers in Japan, Hongkong, on platforms - but the problem is these units are sometimes expensive because they are rare and well designed and of an excellent built quality. It is more comfortable to call a dealer asking for the latest design on new turntables around the corner... Everyone may decide what he is aiming at regarding musicality and technical satisfaction. We must accept that not everyone among us is looking for the best solution rather than the most accepted and well marketed product. Why not? Seriously!
