Micro Seiki S-Z1T
Micro Seiki S-Z1M
(1983 - 1984)

Ahhh - chances are you and I will never, ever, see (or hear) one of those.
Micro's statement turntable, produced a couple of years after the direct-driven Onkyo PX-100M and the Marantz Tt 1000...
More expensive than anything they ever produced, more lavish, heavy, magnificent, more, more, more... As a result, well, the S-Z1 didn't sell that much and SX-8000s are abundant in comparison. With a total inertia moment of 26t/cm2 (yes: 26 tons !) and an 30µ air-isolated floating platter and motor, the S-Z1 was the nec plus ultra. It probably still is but who is to tell ? CD came in at the same moment and such efforts, however fascinating or excellent, suddenly seemed vain... and old-fashioned : LP after all was a vintage format old of 35 years ! Or so it seemed.
