Hi to the board. :0
Would this coupling work folks?
I have a 7000 Series Amp, Cassette and CD and have the chance to purchase a Beogram 3000 deck - would this wotk?
Many thanks
Annie
No!
There is no RIAA pre amp inth the deck or the amplifier.
You will require a pre amp in the deck such as BG3500, 4500, 6500 or 7000 or a stand alone pre amp between the two.
Stand alone pre amps are not as convenient as the one built into the deck but will work out cheaper. www.soundsheavenly.co.uk who advertise at the bottom of every forum page do an example including all the required cables.

Short and sweet :0)
Many thanks Graham
Would a 6500 turntable do the job Graham?
Best
I think you answered that in the reply above - apologies.
Yes, the BG6500 is perfect. Looks identical to the 7000 amp except for the little number on the front!
It will also maintain the Datalink so you can control if with your remote.
That's great Graham.
Errrr....Graham - sorry :0)
Would a 5500 turntable comply?
Parrannie: Errrr....Graham - sorry :0) Would a 5500 turntable comply? Best Annie
The 5500 is also without preamplifier
Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.
Thank you Soren :0)
I am so sorry to pump you all for info but I am a tad lost with all this - does a 3300 deck have a pre-amplifier?
Again, many, manyb thanks for all your help board.
No! Only 3500, 4500, 6500, and 7000
I have sent you an email
You can of course buy an external amplifier and, with a little ingenuity, maintain remote control. In many ways this is the best solution as those decks with a built in RIAA command a healthy premium.

This is my own pre amp for sale as I am upgrading.
Exactly! Nice price! What are you upgrading to?

If you mean "would my custom cable and pre amp work". The answer is yes, I have been using it with my Beomaster 6500 amp which is just about identical to your 7000 except for the number on the front!
The Beogram3000 would be fine, just make sure that it has a good stylus or budget to get it refurbished by Axel.
Graham - you are being confused by the new forum layout. The original post appears at the top of the subsequent pages. The answer is of course correct.
Peter, I am trying to get used to the "new" format but my brain is slowing down............ is it my age or is the "new" format just rubbish?
Replies on a postcard please.........
Still, at least I can now post replies, unlike before, when I just gave up!
I think it is your age! I am just pleased that posting is possible again. It is quite useful having the original post on each page once you get used to it. May stop some threads meandering so much!!
