B and O Turntables

Dear Danehenas: This is the B&O adaptor specific for the MMC1 for you can mount in any tonearm including your SME III.

Btw, the MMC1 was the B&O latest top of the line and even for today standards the quality performance of this cartridge is a at the very top and a serious challenge for even the very top LOMC cartridges ( any at any price. ).
It likes to see 100Kohms on load impedance along no more than 150pf on total capacitance.
Congratulations for be an owner of this very fine and hard to find MI cartridge!

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

I've replaced the stock MMC 20CL with Sound Smith SMMC 20CL, and the difference is staggering. The original cartridge sounds very warm at the expense of detail. Sound Smith cartridge sounds more open and lively.

I once bought a 4002 for my Mom. At the time I had a vacuum SOTA and the Walker Gold Pros. You know? That B&O was very very compelling. It had a monsterous soundstage and great detail. It was missing a little low end, but that's all. Highly recommended. It had a B&O mount type cartridge that was, I thought, very good. I got one of these carts in a deal last year, and listed it here. Some bites but it's still around. Perhaps I should just keep it.

Anyway, these are very good tables. Don't let the highend priests tell you otherwise.
