Does Beogram 5005 have built-in RIAA pre-amplifier?

6 replies

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?

No. Only the 6500 and 7000. The 5005 is identical to the 5500.

There's an FAQ which may help here.

However, i can tell you now that the 5005 doesn't have an inbuilt RIAA pre-amp.

The guts are the same as the 7000, except it doesn't have the RIAA.

You need a 3500,4500,6500 or 7000 if you want an RIAA built in.

3000,3300,5005,5500,8000,8500 & 9500 & TX2 dont have an RIAA fitted.

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