To many, Micro-Seiki is regarded as the primordial soup of Japanese turntable design. They get credit for a whole lot, it seems. Regardless of who was involved in its conception and build, the L07D is far superior to any DD that M-S ever marketed under their name. I've always thought that the L07J tonearm, which came with the L07D, "looks" like it might have been designed by M-S. M-S made very heavy, solid turntables, for sure, but so far as I know they did not employ CLD techniques to the degree that is manifest in the L07D. And clearly, Kenwood "stole" the coreless motor in the L07D from Dual, not from M-S. (Kenwood had to revise the motor late in the production life of the L07D, because of legal hassles with Dual.)
By the way, I never knew the B-111 was so hefty, but all the M-S belt drives are substantial products as well. So it should not have surprised me. Albeit, most of them are solid blocks of metal, not (as I indicated) aimed at CLD.
