Turntable choices


Have owned a Bang & Olufsen 8002 turntable for 35 years and value highly it's tone-arm control features.  I've lost an output channel while upgrading my pre-amp from a McIntosh C32 to a McIntosh C47.  A rebuilt 8002 w/an MMC4 rebuilt cartridge is available on Ebay for $950.  My question is: do I stay with the B & O, maybe upgrading the cartridge or look at a new turntable with 35 years of new technology "under the hood"?

I have always loved the B&O look and the convenience of not handling the tonearm.  I record many individual LP tracks and B&O control enables that process.  Yes, the loss of signal either left or right could simply be replacing 3' of wire; the first hiccup I've experienced with this turntable ever.  Maybe a sign of the times to look at a suitable replacement.  I enjoy doing the research and learning what's new out there!

If all you did was unplug/replug the DIN/RCA cable then check that (have a spare?), and also check the new preamplifier.

Regardless it should be a simple fix.

I've checked the turntable with a McIntosh C32 preamp and yes I'm still only getting one channel of music so the newer C47 is OK.  Next check will be a new connector to the turntable, if I can find one.
