Hi all. 

Does anyone know if the datalink feature is preserved when I plug the 5005 into the beomaster 8000.  All the  manuals say both are datalink compatible but i'm not sure the 8000 phono connector is the right size? also looking for a beolab teminal to control the beomaster.

As a footnote i aquired the 5005 today for a pittance and low and behold it was carrying a MMC1 in really great condition!! Is this going to be overkill on this deck?

Many thanks in advance

It should work perfectly. The MMC1 is a good cartridge - B&O cartridges are probably better quality than a number of the decks - if not all! - but the 5500 will not damage it and you will get benefits from using it, so my answer would be not overkill!

thanks Peter. will give it a go . I have compared the MMC5 I had on my beocenter 7700 with the MMC1 and  the jump in sound quality is very  

obvious even very old vinyl sounds better.
