Compatibility between Beomaster 6500 and beogram 8000

6 replies

Hey all

I'v been so lucky to fully restore a Beosystem 6500. Unfortunately i have not been able to get the BeoGram 6500. Recently i'v found a good price on a Beogram 8000 (needs a little repairing) including a new pickup. 

So i'd like to know since I have not found the information, would the  Beomaster 6500 and beogram 8000 be able to work together?

I'v noticed that Beogram 8000 doesn't have an internal RIAA neither do the Beomaster 6500. Is it possible/doable to implement this in the system or is an external RIAA a must? 

If using an external RIAA is necessary would the boegram 8000 still be controllable by the beolink?

Thanks!

Stick to the Beogram 6500., perfect match. Looks better than an older BG8000

If you're interested, I have a few BG6500/7000 here with all type of MMC needles.

Wrong section for trying to sell your stuff, Les.

Yes a riaa is needed. And the bg8000 is a much better player albeit in a different design.

This okay Minuscat?

I see you got the message Les but apparently you didnt understand it.

Possibly..
