Micro Seiki DD-7 / DD-40 Direct-Drive Vintage Audiophile Turntable with MA-505 Tonearm 

The DD-7 is a really lovely listening turntable from the 70's. This Micro Seiki was sold as the DD-7 within Japan, and in other countries as the DD-40. Micro Seiki originally made surgical instruments and miniature mechanisms. They then started to produce exquisite and sought-after turntables in the 60's and 70's. The MA-505 tonearm is dynamically balanced for low tracking force and the tracking force application spring and tungsten wire ensure lasting quality without deterioration. The unit is housed in a solid base, Palisander-Rose finished pressed-board and large size shock absorbers designed to minimise acoustic feedback to produce excellent sound quality. When testing the DD-7 we were amazed at how great this turntable actually sounded.

Condition: 

  • This is a used unit. 

  • Physically the unit itself is in good condition for its age showing some small signs of wear like some nicks and scratches. There is nothing major, and nothing which detracts from its use or functions. Please see photos. 

  • This unit has its orignal dust cover. The dust cover has been cracked at the back and reinforced by a previous owner with a piece of aluminium. Although it shows some wear, it is still perfect for protecting your turntable while not in use and during the shipping process. 

  • This unit has been tested. It is fully functional and sounds excellent.

  • This unit does not ship with RCA cables or a ground wire. These must be purchased separately by the new owner. If you need help sourcing the correct item please get in touch as we would be more than happy to help.

  • This unit will ship with a generic headshell and ADC QLM 36 MKII cart & stylus. These have been used but are in good condition to get you started.

  • This sale is for the unit, dust cover, headshell, cart and stylus. No other parts or accessories are included in the sale.
