Hello! I think I have the same model as you do.The small belt (arm) was broken on my deck which resulted in a non moving arm.The smaller motor and belt for the arm doesnt move all the time. I think that there is a sensor in the arm that when the angle becomes to wide it tells the smaller motor to move the arm forward. You can easily check if your arm

Hello again! Checked the carriage with the screws, but didnt make any adjustments there.Suddenly I realized that the problem is not the carriage (and the carriage has not de-railed (thanks for the tip btw) BUT the whole floating chassis,i.e the pendulum system is not horizontal! So the whole platter+the carriage is higher to the left side and slightly

Thanks a lot guys! I''ll probably take some time to check that out, it's not really a big problem, since the inbalance is not varying so I can adjust the signal going trough my cassette recorder with the balance. But eventually it has to be fixed because probably is better that the stylus is at its correct angle vs the record plate.

hello! Been using my new tangential deck for a couple of months and I'm very pleased with the sound. However a question in regards to possible vertical fine-adjustement of the tonearm (not antiskating). the problems or issues: 1) When playing records, the output from the left channel is slightly higher than right channel, tried changing cartridge

Hello, In my opinion the difference between for example SMMC4 and MMC4 is not that big if you have a relatively "new" MMC4, especially on the audio side. On the mechanical tracking side there is a bigger difference in favour of the SMMC4.

Hello! Dont know if its any help to you but on my BG 3000 (tangential) the raising middle adaptor got halfway stuck which resulted the pickup to lower just millimeters off the aluminum platter when I was trying to play a single! However after taking out the hole platter and the midlle mecanism carefully cleaning the plastic tube which goes up&down

Hello, Got smmc4 on Monday, the website says shipping within 15 days in my case it was 18 days.Still waiting for the whole cost of the cartridge since I dont have the customs clearance yet.Well anyway my findings: 1). The Smmc4 is on par with mmc4 or slightly better soundwise although I would have preferred some more accented top end- but I think Soundsmith

Hello, Dont know if the BG 3000 is different, but when my stylus was out of order I tested the Beogram without the cartridge and the tonearm did in fact drop but did not reach the platter without cartridge.

Hello Chris, ok, thanks for that piece of info once again (avoiding removing MMC4 from tonearm) .No I didnt mean pulling the stylus out of the MMC4 I currently have Yesterday I was able to plug in the cartridge and the system. It sounds really different from my BG1203. More CD-like I would say. In my opinion the tangential tracker deals with a few Vinyl

Thanks Chris! this just about sums it up, apart from I dont have B&O amplifier -forgot to mention-sorry! I use an adapter and a DIN wire to get RCA plugs.But this point seems fine. Regarding the pulling of the stylus it is more complicated (due to size!) as with the "bigger" ones (SP-range i.e) There is of course the alternative of carefully
