Re: Beogram to match BS9000

I have a Beogram 4500 just like yours with the white strip.
I could never sell it, as it was my very first ever B&O purchase.

burantek,

The 4500 looks stunning! The beosystem 4500 and Beogram 4500 are on my wish list, but they are very hard to find.

well, i finally got around to connecting a beogram to the bs9000...

i chose between a 4500 and a tx2. the 4500 is easy as it has the riaa, but i think the tx2 more cosmetically suits the 9000.

which did i choose?

tx2

Thanks for the info. I have been searching for some good second hand turntables, so far I did not find one with a reasonable price, seems like the RIAA versions are very popular. But I will continue to look!

Best Regards,

That's the kind of luck I could do with... not the sort I'm having lately :(

As a friend of mine said: 'If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all..."

That said, the Beomaster 900K is now finished (thanks Frede!) and the silver Beogram 1000 that arrived today has really good speed (the adjustment works fine) and the wow & flutter is great too. The RIAA is installed (Thanks again Frede!) and it works great with the 900K. All I've got to do is swap the arm for one of my others (the finger lift is missing) and sort out the damping on the arm lowering and it's finished too!

Next project is the Beocenter 7700.... :)

A friend of mine got one for about £20 with a good MMC20CL! Lucky so and so!

Why didn't *I* think of the 6000? ;)

I'd have loved a 4000, but out of my budget at the moment.... :(

Re: Beogram to match BS9000

In that case a Beogram 6000 would be perfect! RIAA included and 4000 type performance.

Aesthetically it has to be the 4000 series turntables. No remote is no big deal, and hiding an RIAA is no problem either. I liked the aesthetic match so much I chose a 4002 over the 8002....

Just my 10 rubles worth.... ;)

For simplicity you'd be best suited with a Beogram with an inbuilt RIAA (not present in the BS9000) so my advice would be a 3500/4500/6500 or 7000, the latter 3 will match better than the grey 3500. As stated earlier you won't have remote control but to be honest it doesn't really matter when you have to manually place on a record, besides which the skip/track finding function on these isn't brilliant in any case.

I have been using a Beogram 6500 along with the 9000 for years, and they complement each other beautifully, IMHO.

I use a 4500 which works quite well, you are unable to control the beogram via a remote but has the riaa which is needed when adding a beogram to a 9000.
