B and O Turntables

Kirkus-Great job. Thanx for the education. I will visit Soundsmith next week and see what they have on offer. If I asked you to provide model numbers of 2-3 B/O tables I should ask about, can you provide? My head is spinning with the several you've mentioned above. I do believe my contact mentioned an RX or TX may be available.

If you're willing to have one repaired/restored, then I'd recommend (US models):

Beogram 4002
Beogram 4004
Beogram 8000
Beogram 8002

I would consider the TX one step down from these, and the RX two steps down. But they're still good, so if you get one at a good price, it's worth it. The RX2 and TX2 are different, newer, and probably won't need nearly as much in terms of service as compared to a RX or TX, but are in general not quite as nicely built - B&O was anticipating the CD taking over when they designed these turntables. But a TX2 is still a fantastic-sounding machine, especially with a MMC1 or MMC2.

Great, Kirkus. I am now positioned to work with my contact thanx to your erudite comments.

I have a Beogram 1700 from 1983 that has been well stored for many years

20CL stylus

Dear Kirkus: I don't want to hijack the therad but I think that Lindisfarne has the information he was looking for.

My question to you ( Kirkus. Btw, I never imagine you own B&O, at least I can't read it through your virtual system. ) is that if do you already try that MMC20CL in a non B&O TT/tonearm and how compare it?, thank you.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
