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.

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!

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
