Hi,

just ordered my first Beogram from Graham in Beo4Life (Stemma AV). Seems to be a guy people here trust a lot!

Its a Beogram 7000 turntable with tangential tonearm and a MMC2 newly refurbished stylus (By Axel).  Also has a built in RIAA Amp, so it is as simple as  plug and play (hopefully!!) with my BeoSound 9000 or my BV 7-40.

 He tells me its in pretty good nick, so can't wait now to get it in the post.

 excited, excited, excited :) :) :)

i will post some pics of my set-up as soon as I have it all up and running.

Paul

If it's from Graham, it'll be lovely.

Enjoy! 🙂

Congratulations with the Beogram, you'll not regret the purchase. Retipped MMC2's by Axel is, in my opinion, his best sounding option 🙂

Yes they are lovely. In fact  I have two of those. Might sell them at some point, as I never use them...

Congratulation Paul, and welcome to the vintage age and Black Magic, Your turntable will bring you a lot of joy, to put on a good record, see it turn around, the pick up arm lovwering and as magic, sounds comes out in your speakers, is something special, and if you play records the whole day long, you can quit the gym, you will have to leave your chair to change or turn the record, clean them before each play and store them properly in the covers, all a procedure that gives a special feeling when playing Black Magic. 😂

And to explain this kind of records to the younger people I tell them "this is the new Black-Ray"

love it Soran :)

..actually Im of the age that remembers Vinyl (I'm 50) ...... I bought my first album in 1973 when i was age 12....David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust!!! was magic then and the move to CD and now to digital downloads is simply not the same experience as cleaning and playing your vinyl LP's :)

Looking forward to re-collecting a new set of LP's!!!!

Thanks for the good wishes guys.

Paul
