I have a beosystem 5500 the Beomaster seems to have died, bought a BM7000 to replace it. I've just found out the BM7000 doesn't have a phono amp. Is there any din in and out amplifier I could use to retain their the remote functions?
With a little soldering skills you could make an adapter cable like this: 7-pin DIN female (from Beogram 5500) ---> a pair of RCA plugs and the two leads from the Datalink system (remote control bus) are put straight into a 7-pin DIN male plug while the RCA plugs into the RIAA preamplifier, two RCA plugs return the signal into the male DIN plug and then into the Beomaster. This might simplify it:
As far as I know, there is a tiny difference between line level inputs and turntable inputs - the two wires for Datalink switch place.
