Hi eweryone. Im new on this forum and I need your help.

I have beogram rx2 with MMC3 stylus connected to beomaster 6500 (recently bought almost the whole set 6500 and working absolutely perfect except turntable). I need your experts opinion what preamp I have to buy for reasonable money. Last couple of years my beogram (stylus is in almost perfect condition I think) was connected to my old Sony hifi system with build-in preamp (middle shelf) with Kef Qi7 speakers. I care a lot about my LP's and I love lessening music. 

Many Thanks for Your help

Welcom to Beoworld Robinsad,

What makes you sure you need a pre-amp?

The technical specifications of the Beomaster 6500 say it has a pre-amp built in .

Maybe the fault is located somewhere else ?

regards

Noel.

In Beomaster 6500 the RIAA was an optional extra module you could have soldered in.

Hi Noel. Thanks for quick response. You are right but that's was optional and my model don't have build-in preamp

Finding one will be difficult.
A Beogram 6500 would be easier - and a better deck, being tangential.

Hello again,

If you can't get the module,or it's too expensive,you can buy a pre-amp from Sounds Heavenly for a very reasonable cost.

I don't know what country you're in but the pre-amp MD-001 Hyperwire is $117 AUS ,75.54 Euro,or 65 UK pounds.

I'm running a Beogram 2402 with a Beomaster 4500,neither of which has a pre-amp.So I bought the MD-001,and it works just fine with no appreciable loss of sound quality.

Hope this helps.

Noel.

There are so many preamps under $500 that will make your mmc3 sing beautifully in this setup. Trying several of them for yourself is the best way to find what you like since it sounds like you appreciate music this way

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on this one!

Despite the fact that the linear tracking Beograms have a higher perceived quality and are worth more money, it is my opinion that they simply don't sound as good as the radial tracking decks.
