    beogram 6000 for stereo

    prob a stupid question but:

    does a beogram 6000 play stereo records correctly, or does some sound vanish into the 4 channel outputs, and how good is the riaa as I've always used the phono input on my amp is the B&O going to be as good?

     

    Does the cartridge make any difference?

    It has no problems playing stereo records, although it is useful to turn the selector switch to 2CH. Otherwise some music content might be mistaken for a CD4 carrier and fool the automatic detection.

    The CD4 decoder in the 6000 is actually a very good RIAA preamp, probably better than the one in most amplifiers or the builtin preamp in later Beograms. It will of course be approaching its 40th birthday by now, so it might benefit from an overhaul.

    I don't think the choice of cartridge affects this at all, although very few will be able to play CD4 records.

    But anyway, never even consider converting a 6000 to a stereo deck by removing the decoder!

    Yes, it's under the right hand side edge, no need to open anything.

    Read through this.

    It will give you some technical background on your deck, and especially on the CD4 decoder / RIAA pre-amp
