About the SX-5000
The Micro Seiki SX-5000 is a premium direct-drive turntable manufactured in the early 1980s, renowned for its exceptional build quality and vibration isolation. It employs a belt-drive system with speeds of 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm, and a total weight of 53 kg, emphasizing high mass and inertia for superior speed stability and low rumble. The design accommodates optional tonearms via various baseplates and includes a separate motor unit, similar to the RX-5000 series. No longer in production, it represents Micro Seiki's pinnacle of analog engineering with features like a heavy gunmetal platter option and advanced bearing systems.
