Beomaster 6000 (type 2702) SQ-module, there are different models?
in BeoWorld Feature / Problem · Nov 8, 2026 15:27The MMC6000 cartridge was probably my favourite - less temperature sensitive than the later 20CL. It was however extremely sensitive to dust on records due to the contact line stylus designed by Subir Pramanik. I used to…
Beogram 6500 – Tonearm gets stuck halfway through records. Any ideas?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 12, 2026 19:27Martin has forgotten more than I ever knew so I would definitely take his advice. I would also recommend his services wholeheartedly.
Beogram 6500 – Tonearm gets stuck halfway through records. Any ideas?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2026 11:17The fact it works sometimes would suggest that the cord used for driving the arm across the record is sticking - these decks work in a very different way to the 4000 series. I would suggest that maybe the mechanism needs…
End of the road now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 9, 2026 21:13The only 'modern' bit of B&O that works to my satisfaction is the Beolab 5 ! Confess that I now use Amazon devices - some through Beolab speakers and my trusty Beolit 700. I have a B&O TV that takes ages to switch on as …
Recommend me a 5.1 used setup
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 3, 2026 07:36An alternative would be Beolab 4000s which can be wall mounted. When I visited Struer (many years ago!) all the rooms had Beolab 4000s in them as they have good performance and a low foot print. I have two sets myself an…
New here - Please can anyone help ? Turntable based system
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 26, 2026 14:27Have you listened to a Beogram? I have had most in my time and still have a 4000, 4004 and a 6000 masquerading as a 4001! They are very good turntables but are not Linn Sondek level. You also have the issue of cartridge …

Beomaster 6000 (type 2702) SQ-module, there are different models?
in BeoWorld Feature / Problem · Mar 26, 2026 19:10I had one of those - the technical manual on site is the one I scanned in I think! There was a service manual as well though will have to see if I have the scan of that. As you know, the 6000 deals with two types of quad…
Beolab 3000s switching on and off in use
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 7, 2025 17:24Have you tried the BL3000s working directly with the BM6500 just using Powerlink cables? It means moving the BM6500 into the room with the 3000s but if it works, it will be something to do with the cabling. If it does th…
Your favourite product from B&O's first 100 years?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 7, 2025 17:11I have had most of the older things in my time and have given almost all away. The ones that really impressed: Beolab 5000 system - the 60s amplifier and tuner along with the Beogram 3000 (had both the Thorens and Acoust…
Beomaster deluxe RG Type 611
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 10, 2025 13:15There is a thread about this on the old forum - don't seem to be able to post a link but a google search on Beomaster rg611 will bring it up! Martin (Dillen on site) will be the expert on this if he is still on site. Goo…
BEOSOUND MOMENT: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 9, 2025 12:33I bought a Moment - not that long ago - it really is not a good product - I now use it as a way to play my Amazon Echo Dot through Beolab 4000s! I am about to get a simpler device to do this so the Moment will be relegat…
Masterlink to Powerlink
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 5, 2025 20:03I think the first suggestion from Guy is the best idea - If you already have a cable through the wall, as long as it has enough connections and some shielding, then just changing the plugs could be the answer. ML is the …
Best B&O solution for Desktop setup?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 5, 2025 19:51Harsh - possibly because they are not fitted with the front - have a look here. https://beocentral.com/beovoxcx100 Small bookshelf speakers - not very extended bass hence the Beovox Cona but for computer use they are fin…
Best B&O solution for Desktop setup?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 2, 2025 19:05Interesting - I did have BL3s for a while - used a Beomaster 7000 below the computer - didn't really like them - never felt as if they sounded integrated - like two speakers - probably because too close. Went to CX100s w…

To retip or not to retip MMC6000
in Cartridge · Jun 27, 2025 16:23The point of the 6000 is that the contact patch in deep into the groove but extremely thin. This is because it was designed to pick upm the CD4 encoding which required tracking at about 40kHz. Clearly this needed a very …

Beolab 19 vs. Beolab 2
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 24, 2025 08:43Not sure the Beolab 2 is that bad 😀 but I know what you mean - I found it fine with a TV and added to the sound but certainly less good with music. I have Beolab 5s now so no need for a subwoofer - relegated to playing …
Is this forum dead?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 24, 2025 08:35I agree with Martin - my interest was always in the audio equipment which is now not really available. I confess my most used piece is my Beolit 700 - splendid piece of kit - though not sure Martin would approve as I spr…
