I would like to buy Micro seiki BL-51 with MA-505, Do You know where? Only Ebay? Is the sound from this turntable comparable for example with Clearaudio Concept or Emotion or Pro-ject 6perspex or Rega RP3?

They're not the most common turntables, but they can be found. There seems to be a lot of them in Germany, if you can afford the postage it might be worth checking out German sites for one. I don't think it would be comparable to the models you mentioned, the MA-505 (unless you're thinking of the MKIII model) will serve well with a very different set of cartridges than the lighter modern arms. The deck itself is just as good (or better) as those listed. The bearing is incredible for a turntable of its price. And (imo) it looks a lot better than modern particle board turntables
