In Reply to: Does the Micro Seiki ma-505 tonearm compare to modern arms? posted by boydkorab@hotmail.com on April 23, 2009 at 18:47:43:
On the larger Micro-Seikis (& many other Japanese turntables), the tonearm base is a thick, flat disc that has the arm mounting hole drilled off-center (eccentrically) so that rotating the base gives different pivot-to-spindle distances. Couldn't you apply the same thinking and have a replacement base made for the DD-8? This would just be a flat disc of metal with vertical holes, so shouldn't be too difficult or expensive for most machine shops to make. You could also have different versions of the same part made in various metals (soft aluminum, duralumin, brass et al) and have fun with the different sounds that these will give.
