Hi, guys!
i was looking for wire for my RX1500 some times ago and a friend of mine, a fisherman, gave some fishing thread, actually Kevlar similar to my K-5 wire. I would be pleased to have your source for K-5 or K-15.
You can see my TTs here : http://www.vinylengine.com/phpBB2/album ... ch=Docjowe

congratulations for your RW1500! I have the gunmetal platter, do you think i can use the Rw1500 on my Rx1500VG ?

Hallo Joseph,

from a reliable source I learned that you can use a simple cotton wire as well.

With respect to the RW-1500, I would expect that you don't need it. Since the
aluminium platter is 2,8kg and the bronce platter is >9kg. The the RW-1500 is
meant to compensate for the weigt of the motor unit RY-1500 when that is
being taken of from the RX-1500 platter section.

Don't expect it to be over 6kg!

PS: have sent you a message as well.

I agree 100% that you don't need the RX-1500 with your configuration since you have the heavy platter and also vacuum system. I needed since I use the aluminum one. The RX-1500 that I made from soft iron is 6.6Kg. The surgical thread is a very good solution but I can’t find long one any more (you need 1.5m) I only can find 0.75m ones. I have never used K-5 or K-15 so I would like to do so. The price is a killer though. The best belt that I used so far is the thin fish line.

Best regards
Kyriakos

I just purchased a new in the box Micro K-5 thread for 46 Euros including postage to Greece from a shop in Hong Kong. I think that was better than the German shop that asking more money for a used one and without postage.

I warned you for those Germans ,-)

Dear Friends.
The Micro K-5 thead just came today from HK.
Is NOS never used before.

I have used the Micro Seiki K-5 thread today on my RX-1500.
It is better than any other material I used so far. It is actually the same sonically as the surgical thread I used before. I’m very happy with this K-5 and also since I only paid 46 Euros for it and not the money that the German shop was asking for the used one.

What kind of thread is it ? I mean material. Is there any thread similar to the K-5 available in the market ? I have a La Platine and I'm using the original Verdier supplied thread. Not bad but I wonder is there any good thread out there. What kind of knot you are using to tie the K-5 thread ?

By the way your Micro is one fine TT. One of my Hi-Fi buddy has one. I used to have the Micro Series 3000 TT. I really like the Micro motor.

What do you hear differently after you added the weight to your Micro ?

Here are the instructions from the Micro Seiki's manual

Loosen the tension adjustment screw on the motor unit with a large hex wrench.
After turning the pulley in the direction of the turntable, make a loop large enough to go
around the outside of the pulley and turntable, cut the string, and make a tight knot.
After you have made the knot, cut off the end of the string (before making the knot, if
you rub the end of the thread back and forth between your fingers to 'take out the
twisting' of the thread, the knot will be better).
