Hi All,

Looking for the best way to connect a Beogram 8002 to a Mk2 Essence by way of a reasonable phono stage.

Any ideas. Bluetooth or simple RCA?

Thanks

I RCA connected a BG4002 to my BS Moment. The Moment starts when the needle "hits" the record.

Simple, straith forward and reliable.

Picking up horrible distortion

BG8002 >> Hyperwire MD001 >> Essence mk2

Connections good, needle ok, thinking there’s not enough signal uplift on the RIAA.

im not an expert in this type of arrangement

Mr 10Percent:

BG8002 >> Hyperwire MD001 >> Essence mk2

BG4002 original DIN >> DIN to RCA from Sounds Heavenly >> Oehlbach Phono Preamp Pro >> RCA-RCA cable >> Moment

no distortion at all

So how are your cables / connectors? Did/can you test the preamp with another recordplayer or mike?

As Carolpa explained, you need a preamp (riaa) from Beogram 8002 to the Essence.
(The audio signal from a Turntable is to weak for a Beomaster etc)
(later BeoGrams, like BG6500, have premp/riaa built in)

The quality on preamps differ, see audio tests and on internet. To get the best is for you to decide.
