in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 27, 2017 17:02The absolute best product that I've found and used with much success is servo tape. It's literally used for mounting servos in remote control vehicles. Any online or retail hobby shop carries it. It's much thinner than m…
Wanted: White 6500 MCP
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 6, 2017 23:55Hi Jay - While not a 6500, here's a 5500 in white that is identical other than the model number. I've been considering it to go with my white BM6500, but I have an MCP6500 that I've already serviced and don't feel like b…
HELP! How can i connect a 6500 receiver & RX2 turntable or Control Panel 5500? CD player advice too.
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 27, 2017 13:30Strange then as the specs here are misleading and actually suggest that the RIAA is built into the BM6500 https://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=359 " RIAA amplifier built-in (8001245) " Guess it was an add on and…
HELP! How can i connect a 6500 receiver & RX2 turntable or Control Panel 5500? CD player advice too.
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 27, 2017 01:38Adam - The Beomaster 6500 has a built in RIAA preamp so if you want to use your RX2, all you need to do is get the right cables. Otherwise you could put it back in storage and get yourself a matching Beogram for your new…

Beocenter 9000 tape deck audio difference

Looking for CD player alternatives for Beosystem 3000... Help!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 15, 2017 17:41Anthony - All the datalink versions should work and as far as looks go, the beogram CD3000, 3300, 3500 are all good options. I'm curious as to why the 4500 didn't work for you - it should have - perhaps it was faulty? Ke…
Beolab 4000 questions - foam rot

Beolab 2500 questions
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 3, 2017 14:11I agree with the stack ranking above. In my opinion, the BL4000s are quite remarkable for what they are. I also like the fact that you have so many color options and they also can be easily wall mounted. I actually have …
Shout out to Steve at Sounds Heavenly- Thanks!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 2, 2017 15:37Steve - Several weeks ago you posted a thread about using Beolab's for live performance. I must admit that your thread inadvertently inspired me. As a long time musician that used to have an enormous home studio that is …

Beogram 6500 and nosie
in BeoGram · Jan 11, 2017 07:12Roger - I think I've got this and I could be wrong but based on what you're telling us here (and much respect for your ~50 years of vinyl exp) Here's what I think - The new cantilever and stylus are longer than OEM and t…
Beogram 6500 and nosie
in BeoGram · Jan 11, 2017 00:35Thanks for the info Roger. Not really sure why you'd be hearing so much surface noise - I have a couple of non-modified MMC2's on my Beograms and have never noticed anything out of the ordinary as compared to my hi-end r…
