Review
In sum, this Micro Seiki DQX-500 turntable has obviously been designed with the hi-fi enthusiast in mind. The ordinary record collector will miss such features as auto-stop, speed adjustment (perhaps) and a cabinet - though a moulded, clear plastic dust cover is provided. However the hi-fi man will find that the unit does constitute a rock steady playing platform with almost zero wow and very low noise (rumble and hum are both extremely low). The arm is of excellent design. slightly favouring the present vogue for moving-coil cartridges. The price, though on the high side, corresponds with that of the competition when the combination of a quartz locked direct-drive motor and a respectable pickup arm is borne in mind - £299 Gramophone October 1979
