    Where did you get it, I'm desperate for a Micro Seiki DQX-1000 service manual. Just bought it and having some arm mounts made up. More bling than an SP-10 but I suspect not as good, time will tell!

    Hi Dave - manual should be with you now.

    I got it from www.manualuniverse.com although I had a quick peep and couldn't find any Micro manuals, nor mention of the company. It seems that the website covers manuals outside hifi aswell....that's unless BMW are now making amplifiers or some such (they sure as hell can't make motorcycles!)

    I have to say that I've been listening to Dave's upgrades for a little over a week and I'm still walking away very impressed with this setup! While Marco and I disagree somewhat about the ultimate potential of the SL-1200, I was someone who was always pretty down on the SL-1200 until I heard one at a good friends house that was very painstakingly set up.

    I started down the path with a brand new stock, SL-1200 and still found the presentation a little bit closed in and dark overall, but another friend told me about Dave's mod and said it was fantastic. I struck up an email conversation with Dave, and when he got a break in his schedule, he sent me the Time-Step and an SME arm board.

    I just happened to have a spare SME 309 lying around and once everything was put together, I am very excited about the combination. I just did the power supply mod first, did a little bit of listening and was very excited, then taking it to the next level and fitting the SME arm was another big jump. I still have to experiment with feet and the mat, but I have been extremely impressed.

    And Dave is a fantastic guy to work with!

    Whether you have a 1200 and want to upgrade or are considering a table in the range of a Rega P7, Scoutmaster, Pro-Ject RM10, etc etc, I wouldn't hand over the credit card till you hear one of these.

    We will have a full review next issue, but again, this is an outstanding setup. And I started out as a guy who DIDN'T like the SL1200....

    i like that' a spare 309 kicking around LOL ' if only i had not sold my 310, but maybe the 10 inch would not work as well perhaps.

    Did you find the presentation opening up and more out of the box with the Timestep ,more fluid etc ,is the difference between the 309 and the stock arm night and day or more subtle.

    Hi i was wondering what you thought about the Timestep vs the Kab.

    You must have felt the difference was worthwhile .
