Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At €2,350, this is well above the current used level for an MA-505, which typically shows up around roughly €500–€1,100 depending on version, completeness, and condition; even the stronger recent asking prices I found cluster below this. That makes this listing ambitious, and I’d want more than “good” condition to justify it.

The MA-505 is still a very respected, high-performance vintage arm: smooth bearings, excellent adjustability, and the sort of build quality that can make a serious table feel complete. If it’s truly clean, original, and includes the right headshell, counterweight(s), and cable/adapters, that adds real value—but at this price I’d only lean in if it’s a rarer variant or comes with a notably complete, documented package.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Micro Seiki

Micro Seiki was a Japanese precision-engineering company founded in Tokyo in 1961. Its heritage is firmly rooted in the analog era, and the brand became especially associated with technically ambitious, well-made turntables and related vinyl hardware rather than a broad consumer-audio catalogue.

The company is best known for turntables, turntable drives, plinths, and tonearms, along with a smaller amount of electrostatic headphone production in its earlier years. Sources consistently describe Micro Seiki as a maker of mid- to high-end and later reference-class turntables, with models that became especially prized by serious vinyl listeners.

In market terms, Micro Seiki sits in the high-end vintage and collector category. It is not a current mainstream audio brand in the modern sense; instead, it is remembered as a legendary specialist name, with its most sought-after decks and components commanding strong interest among analog enthusiasts and collectors.
