Hi, thanks for the mention!

No problem, please feel free to get in touch via my sponsor link below and I can sort out a pre-amp with a wiring loom to transmit Datalink (including cross-over links, as the BM7000 and RX2 have slightly different Datalink wiring).

Just to confirm that the comments above are correct: Beogram RX does not have a pre-amp built in, neither does Beomaster 7000. It is technically possible to fit an internal pre-amp to either the BM7000 or the RX 2, but I have never yet seen either of these be modified in this way. So, you can normally be fairly sure that you will need an external pre-amp when connecting these devices.

Kind regards,

Steve.

I think Steve at Sounds Heavenly (one of this site's sponsors) can provide you with a datalink to datalink phono pre-amp.

It should be the best solution and will offer datalink control of the RX through your beomaster.

MrHilbert:

Thanks for the reply..... I was wondering if you can tell by the 7000's serial number if it had the preamp integral. My reading up on other websites tells me that some do & some dont....

My guess is that you can safely bet it doesn't. It never was a standard option on the BM7000 (nor 6500), and not that many 7000 systems were sold with a turntable anyway.

But since the RX2 has RCA out and you won't get Datalink anyway, adding an external preamp will not be as much of a hassle as it could be (one 2xRCA - 5-pin DIN adapter after a regular preamp will do).

The CD part should be fine, although be warned that the mismatch in looks will get annoying.

The cd50 should work without problems ....it does with my beomaster 6500.

I think the RX2 will need a phono pre-amp. The beomaster usually don't have these built in and I don't think the TX2 has one build in either.

Help! can anyone tell me if the cd50 and the RX2 TT are compatible (simply) with the Beomaster 7000?
