Additional Info
The Micro Seiki VF-3100 is an MI design from the Variable Flux series fitted with a nude elliptical stylus. Its character leans toward natural, unforced vocals with a wide, stable stereo image and lively dynamics that stay forgiving on less-than-perfect pressings. Bass keeps reasonable density without dominating, versatile enough for vocal jazz, acoustic and classic rock on moderately revealing systems. The stylus is user-replaceable, and spares remain findable.
