"1) I do not have a turntable, which model besides BeoGram 5000/5005 will work fully with the system and MCP5000 ??"

Making the assumption that you'd like your 4 components to match each other, Beogram 5005 and 5500 are identical turntables and are fully compatible with your 5000 system.   The Beogram 5000 is of course also compatible if you prefer radial over tangential operation.

"2) I can buy RX2 (5831) but will all functions be handled like in 5000/5005 ??"

The RX2 is compatible but won't operate via remote control, as the above-mentioned would.  It also won't match the rest of the 5000 system cosmetically.

"3) My CD50 sometimes skips time if I want to change for another model that would be fully functional ??"

Even tho it sounds good, the CD50 is KNOWN for problems.  Go with a CD 5500.  Fully compatible and matches perfectly.

And don't knock your Beosystem 5000.  It was B&O's flagship sound system back in the day and the Beomaster 5000 arguably sounds better than the other 3 stacked system Beomasters.

Nothing wrong with the 5000 system and it uses Datalink between components so lots of choice. Your only disadvantage is the remote - the 5500 introduced the Beolink 1000 codes and this allows one remote for both audio and TV. If you can live with this and wish to upgrade, the obvious choices are:

1. Beogram - the 5500 will work fine though the radial 5000 probably is a better deck sonically!!

2. Beocord 5500 - auto reverse deck with HX-Pro

3. Beogram CD5500 - quite possibly B&O's best CD player - TDA1541A DAC - the best. A lot quieter and more reliable than the CD50

The RX2 is not remote control - if you don't mind it not stacking, the 8002 will work!!

I had a 5000 system from new - gave it to my builder and got a 9500 instead - now that is a great system!!

Thank you for the constructive response

I can also buy Beogram 1800 (5811), fits with color. I understand that just as in the case of RX2, everything would work except MCP control ??

Thanks for answer.

But will the cd5500 be controlled MCP5000 ?? This piece of brick is not just for show. In my opinion, it is brilliant and I use it. The same question to the Beocord 5500 deck. 

I want stay with fully worked Beomaster 5000 with MCP5000 ( maybe except turntable )

Yes it can be, because the MCP’s IR signals go to the BeoMaster and then they are relayed through the datalink cable.

Aaaaa... Now, I think I know everything :)

Every components will works if are relayed through the datalink cable. It's simple and smart. 

Thanks !!

Correct.

Turntable can wait ... now, I bought BeoCord VHS 91 . Maybe I don't use it but it's "another brick in the wall" 😁
