Thank You!

I now have it working too, once i had tracked down the erroneously low volume slider somewhere!

I could not fit any 'nice chunky' hifi leads i already had because their plugs simply would not allow the Beocord's din plug past them! so i had to find some cruddy thin bellwire phono to phono leads for now, still, it works for now. There just is not much room for upgraded cabling in these 5000/ 5500 receivers is there?

Do you know where i can get some B&O approved for Beomaster amp 5000/ 5500 small phono to phono leads, but with nice cable on them?

everything online looks too stiff and chunky to fit the DIN plug for tape 1 past them?

thanks for your help and testing,

meanwhile i treated the wifes Record Store Day Rega RP1 to a frosted Acrylic Platter and a uprated belt to help cope with it!

looks super kool....see piccies..

AH ok i think i see now.

Yes i will persevere with the WiiM based Airplay2 system now as it all seems to be working ok and feeding audio to the Beolab 6000.

No to try and fix that pesky beogram CD 5500!

thanks for help and advice and testing this 'idea'

Hiya guys,

Well it looks like i have busted my Phono Turntable rca inputs on my Beomaster 5500 receiver.

Having the total hump over it, having yet another device/ input go down on this second hand system, once i calmed down i had a brainwave.

If i could find my old Cambridge Audio MM phono stage could i actually utilise the WiiM Pro Plus line input and temporarily disconnect it from our previous Airplay 2 analog devices playback system, select the Aux input (sound coming from the WiiM) and hope that the WiiM app makes it route whatevers going into the unit back out of the WiiM line outs.

IT WORKS!!!

I can play our records once more off the Rega RP1 record store day deck!

AND now my thoughts are running towards digging out my Pioneer PDS801 turntable platter CD deck (thats actually alleged to be a really good cd transport) and using the Optical cable supplied with the WiiM Pro Plus, connect that cd deck up and put it into external dac mode?

I think it will work, then the WiiM Pro Plus can actually let me select between 3 sources,

Vinyl

CD

Airplay2/ Chromecast etc...

 

just thought you might like to know yet another reason i have been glad i bought this WiiM Pro Plus in the end!!
