Hallo Beogram fans, ik probeer een beogram 8000 platenspeler op m'n 'gewone' versterker (medevoort) aan te sluiten. Ik heb alle benodigde (koppel) kabels en een apparte pre-amp. Nu blijft het geluid er niet zuiver uit blijven komen (vervorming). Ik heb inmiddels 3 elementen geprobeerd (mmc20e, MMC20S en de mmc20cl).

aangesloten op tape en line.  Iemand een tip voor me>??

Geen idee. Werkt de BG8000 wel goed met een Beomaster?

How is the tracking force, it should be just about 1,2-1,6 grams. There is a scale on the right side of the tonearm.

I could also sound like the pre-amp is overloading because of too high sensitivity. What preamp are you using?

Sorry for not answering in Dutch, but I can't write in that language

Thanks anyway for your reply. Always good to see that people remain involved in Beogram stuff.

It is an 'regular' (nameless) (R?)IAA peamp, I already ajusted the tracking force (it was indeed to low). In the beginning everything seems te operate well, but after 10-20 minutes the sound start to deform! Perhaps it is an IC of capacitor? thanks,. Max

The sound goes straight from the stylus to your preamp. There are no electronics in between. Are you sure the preamp is OK?

Thanks, I'll buy anothter one to try it out. Sometimes the speed differs alo in between, resulting in an fase sound. Sometimes it is ok the complete record.. It seems the machine did not play a while Perhaps a bit of grease? thanks Max

De BeoGram 8000 kan problemen hebben met een aantal condensatoren wat een aantal problemen kan veroorzaken. Het vervangen van de condensatoren is geen overbodige luxe bij deze BeoGram.

Yes, that can absolutely be a capacitor problem, but it's also possible that there is dirt on the speed governor which is a metal disc with square holes along the edge for reading speed. It's under the subplatter. I cleaned mine when it had speed problems and they dissapeared

I forgot that one. In the BeoGram 8000 the metal disc can also be a plastic disc on which the square holes are printed. Most of the time the printing is getting bad. In that case it should be replaced by a metal one. I think Martin (Dillen) can supply these discs?
