Brand: Micro Seiki
The Micro Seiki CF-1 is a high-end turntable manufactured by the Japanese company Micro Seiki. It features a one-piece plinth made of MDF (medium-density fibreboard) with a matte black finish. The sumi plinth design, whereby all components except the tonearm and double bearing turntable are housed within the main plinth, ensures a high degree of vibration damping and stability.The CF-1 uses a precision-machined, in-house manufactured aluminum sub-platter that floats on a hardened steel shaft with two independent ball bearings. This double-bearing system minimizes noise and distortion, resulting in a clear and detailed sound. The tonearm is an acuity bezel type, which is a modified straight arm, designed to minimize tracking error and improve resolution.The Micro Seiki CF-1 comes with either a Sumiko Blue Point II or Ortofon Windfeld cartridge and a high-quality Jelco 250S tonearm, making it a premier turntable choice for vinyl enthusiasts seeking exceptional audio performance. Its handmade construction, premium components, and precise assembly make it a highly sought-after turntable among audiophiles around the world.
