The cartridges are actually neither but are moving iron! You will notice the output is a little bit lower than your other sources (only a bit!) and this is why!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/227620.aspxSun, 20 Sep 2009 16:21:03 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:227620beaugram30000https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/227620.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=227620<p> <div> <p>he, he.

I thought (assumed??) that the SP cartridges were moving coils and the MMC ones moving magnets. The phono stage is switchable yes, I&#39;ll give that a try right now!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/227615.aspxSun, 20 Sep 2009 15:57:46 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:227615Peter0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/227615.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=227615<p>No - it is your amplifier. The cartridge in the Beogram is essentially a Moving Magnet design and you are using a Moving Coil input. Is the input switchable? </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/227611.aspxSun, 20 Sep 2009 15:29:00 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:227611beaugram30000https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/227611.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=227611<p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a Beogram 3000 (5228), which I am connecting to a non B&amp;O amplifier. I have a DIN to RCA adapter cable connected to the phono stage of the amp (MC), an old Cyrus One. Everything works fine, except that the output from the turntable is very loud. Say if I turn the amp volume to 1 it is barely audible, but on 2 it is as loud as the CD player on 7 - which is as loud as I would normally listen to anything. This is annoying because I cannot listen to records at night, and I also worry that someone will try to play a record with the volume still on CD levels (5 say) and blow the roof up.</p> <p>I first thought there might be a preamp fitted, but if plugged in the Aux input of the amp, the sound is low. Is this a known characteristic of the B&amp;O turntables? Is there anything that can be done to reduce the output volume without affecting the sound quality?</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> <p>Florent.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
