Hi everyone, I'm coming to you because I've a problem with a Beogram 9500 that I just baught.
it sounds bad (crackly, and tiny), so I replaced the mmc2 with a good one thinking it was the cartridge/ needle... But it's the same with the good one .
other thing, the motor does a weird noise ... Is it related? (Noisy motor, bad sound ?
i plugged it into my beocenter 9500...
thanks by advance
On B&O turntables without a built in RIAA phono preamp the audio signal goes directly from the cartridge out through a muting relay to whatever amplifier/receiver you are using. For that type of scenario I would recommend switching the phono cable between the turntable and amplifier/receiver first. If the problem isn't there start looking inward at the DIN plug and muting relay.
Your Beogram 9500 probably does have a built in RIAA preamp though so that is an added suspect to the problem. I would still try a different cable first but after that you will need to start debugging the internals. At least it appears likely your MMC2 is good.
I would guess that the motor issue is a separate problem.

Thank you for the answer, I think stock 9500's don't have riaa preamp, do you think that this one has been modified?
best regards
I think the same... so, i have to check the cable...
Any other ideas for this weird problem?
Beat regards
Good News ! The turntable run correctly plugged into a beomaster 4500 , so it was the riaa problem.
I have to try it into the beocenter 9500 plugged into another input instead of phono for a final test.
But, it still does the weird noise. I'm not sure but it seems like it comes from the motor... A kind of a "tic tic tic" rapidly...
Any ideas for this issue?
thank by advance to everyone,
