Does anyone have experience with Beocord 2000 series K versio?

[quote user="Piaf"] I wouldn’t part with any of my turntables, but if I HAD to choose just one, there is NO question it would be the Beogram 4000 with its Swiss AC motor, strobe , record position indicator (silly, but attractive), and its ability to transform vinyl into a virtual concert hall.

[quote user="tournedos"] There's so much else in a CD than the platter drive that actually can and does make a difference, even measureably so. [/quote] I agree. Personally I would never pay 65k for a cd player, even if I were a billionaire. I think the best value for high quality cd player right now is one from Philips from 80's.

[quote user="tournedos"] I agree that vinyl decks and cassette decks may sound different depending on the drive type, since the rotation has something to do with the sound that comes out [/quote] I agree. [quote user="tournedos"] I completely disagree that a CD player would sound different depending on the drive type, since the rotation

[quote user="Peter "] In my view, the 4000 is good because of the heavy platter. The drive is by belt and in that way very similar to the 4002/4004/6000 but these have lighter platters. [/quote] I read from different sources that the only way direct-drive can equal the belt-drive is to use heavier platter than the belt-drive, of course, which

I've been doing some research on this. So far based on what I've sampled from youtube, 4000 series, (I've heard 4002, which may be a slightly less refined belt drive system than 4000) sounds the best as far as the tangential tracking turn tables go. I've sampled 8000, 5000 series, either direct drive or inferior belt drive system than

This is a very critical issue for me. Since my vintage LP collections are pretty rare, and they don't make them anymore, and unlikely to be reprinted. I am more concerned about durability of LPs than sonic quality per se, since I plan on using LPs as the "Master" source to record on cassettes and r2r later on for playback day to day. I

[quote user="Peter "] 1. The heat sink at the back is so separate and looks like an afterthought - it doesn't add to the design.[/quote] Interesting thought. Where do you think they should have placed the heat sink? [quote user="Peter "] I would have had a separate power amplifier which could be placed elsewhere - ....[/quote
