Should be fine - I have played Beograms through all sorts of amplifiers - the output from the cartridge is a tad lower than most moving magent cartridges but only a small amount. I guess the problem is the cable. Have a look at www.Beotech.co.uk - part of this site - for the pin outs of the DIN - Steve at Sounds heavenly can sort out a proper cable for you - his ad is at the bottom of the page.

I got a 4 phono connection lead but still no success. I'm not sure how to connect a wire from the chassis of the beogram- what is that? and I dont think my amp has an earthing screw. can you explain how to do this?

Thanks,

Dano

Hi Dani, and welcome to Beoworld. How many Phono connections does you lead have. If it has only two it may be a Phono to DIN lead. Where you require one that is DIN to Phono. Try to get one with 4 Phono connections, as these work both ways. As for the humming noise, this is caused by an earthing fault. Easily solved by running a piece of wire from the chassis of the Beogram, to an earth point on you Amp. Some Amps will have an earthing screw on the rear.

Hello,

I have bought a beogram 1500 which appears to be working, going round, needle ok on record but I am having real difficulty connecting it to my amp or hi-fi which both work with my other record player.

I have tried several connections between the 5din pin beogram cable and the phono inputs on my amp/hi fi but still no sound apart from a loud buzzing. Tried putting the turntable through a mixer and it appears the signal is not being recieved- Ive seen on forums there are some potential compatability issues between B&O equiptment and non B&O amps.

Is there any way to resolve this?

Thanks,

Dani
