Very helpful and fast replies, thank you. Pardon the unnecessary topic, that FAQ is a great resource I'll rely on from now on.

The information I've found on the web is inconclusive, while the best description found is at http://www.beocentral.com/families/bg5005 "... in both technology and appearance it was basically the same as the Beogram 7000 ..." The Beogram 7000 has built-in RIAA pre-amplifier that I know, but does the Beogram 5005 have it as well?

Well, it's been a long time since I've addressed this issue here, but now the problem is all gone in my workflow of digitizing vinyl to WAV files I admit being a noob when it comes to how these old amps work, and as there was bridging between the line in and line outs I used the headphone jack for listening and digitizing my vinyl collection

Very kind of you, thank you! Does anyone have any ideas where I can buy the parts online? I am pretty sure my dealer does not order them because B&O center in Helsinki no longer supports vinyl players :-( Vilhelm
