This unique system employed a cross-shaped armature which, among other advantages, guaranteed exceptional stereo separation since each channel moves on a separate axis. The job of any pickup cartridge is to transform the records physical profile (groove modulation) into corresponding electrical signals (which are then amplified or enlarged by the amplifier and turned into audible sound waves by the loudspeaker. A cartridge must perform three separate and exacting tasks if it is to do this job successfully. It must function mechanically (the movements of the stylus in the groove); it must function magnetically (using the physical movements to create changes in a magnetic field); and it must function electrically (using the changes in magnetic flux to generate an electrical current). At each stage, one type of energy is transferred into another, quite different, type. And the transfer must be perfect, with no energy lost and none added from extraneous sources.No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed. However, by understanding the relationships between the three transfer stages and continually applying refined engineering techniques, B&Os belief was that each stage of cartridge improvement would bring each successive cartridge closer to the ideal. Record wear and the cartridge If you take music seriously the value of your record collection is likely to be high. Many of your records are likely to be irreplaceable. You will also know that the signals pressed into your vinyl discs are very fragile indeed. The pickup cartridge can be the discs worse enemy since an ill-suited cartridge can mark a record for life in a single play. While B&O is aware that cartridge specifications are inter-related, their research shows consistently that Effective Tip Mass (ETM) is one of the major factors affecting record wear. ETM is the equivalent of the amount of inertia the groove sees in moving or accelerating the stylus tip. Consequently, the higher the ETM value, the higher the force required for a given constant acceleration. Obviously, more force results in more wear. Three elements contribute to ETM. The stylus tip (diamond) contributes with its entire weight and mass. The armature contributes between 5 - 20% of its weight and mass; the cantilever around 30%. B&O has been able to reduce ETM substantially by refining these elements and building them into an integrated unit. The result is a system which not only reduces damage to the groove walls dramatically, but also provides exceptional performance at all frequencies.

Bang & Olufsen MMC5 Cartridge B&O. WITH A SLIGHT SCRATCH TO THE CASING. OTHER THAN THAT ITS IN GOOD CONDITION OVERALL.

Up for grabs is this very nice, lightly used Bang & Olufsen turntable. It displays extremely nice having a freshly polished clear dust cover lens. It looks remarkably nice in person. All functions such as the auto start and stop work perfectly every time and the platter maintains a good constant speed. Installed/included is a MMC5 cartridge which sounds very nice. I included a video demo of the auto start/stop. Still has the original manual brochure! Please see all pictures and ask any questions! This will be packed VERY well having the platter wrapped separately inside the box with the turntable and having everything bubble wrapped and surrounded by packing peanuts. As with most units I sell I guarantee this to work properly for 60 days from the delivery date and back that up with eBays 60 day free return policy. I take pride in my 100% positive feedback rating and always do my best to insure all my customers are happy!

Bang and Olufsen Beogram 3000 Tangential Turntable B&O Type 5901 With MMC5 Tested and in good working order. Cosmetically it is in good condition for its age - There are some minor scratches on the transluscent panel but the silver panel is in very good condition with a working MMC5 cartridge. Please note that within mainland UK I would prefer to arrange delivery myself. The postage costs listed are for someone to drop the item off / meet you somewhere to collect the unit and not for a courier. The postage will help cover fuel costs and can be reviewed with the buyer depending on their location. I am happy to travel 1 or 2 hours to drop it off at a time and date convenient to me which may not be immediately after the sale. I will consider dropping it off at locations further away than 2 hours but may ask the buyer to meet me halfway that way I can cover most of mainland UK. I do travel to the midlands and the south approximately every 2 to 4 weeks. If you are expecting the item within a couple of days of buying then please contact me in advance of purchase to make suitable arrangements. If you are serious about buying the item I am sure we can agree something. Here is some additional information from the fantastic Beoworld website … BeoGram 3000 Record Deck Type 59xx Manufactured: 1985 - 1987 Designer: jacob Jensen Colours: Black/Aluminium Beogram 3000 was a specially designed tangential record deck with a lightweight tone arm featuring the patented suspension system - Optimum Pivot Point - which prevented internal vibrations from interfering with sound reproductions. Beogram 3000 had an MMC 4 pick up for optimum sound and minimal record wear. A record sensor automatically record size and with it, the correct speed. The platter reduces static electricity and thereby dust in the grooves, and the pendulum suspension made Beogram 3000 'danceproof'. The search system worked both forwards and backwards and the new Active Light system was all automatic, giving you light when you needed it, for searching and changing your records etc.. A repeat function allowed you to play the same record up to 7 times in a row. Beogram 3000 was designed to be used within Beosystem 3000. Beogram 3000 does not have a built in RIAA amplifier and relies on this being in the receiver used with it. Beomaster 3000 - which this deck was designed to work with - has the RIAA built in as do almost every receiver before this time, including the Beomaster 8000. Later equipment such as the Beomaster 7000 and Beomaster 3500 and Beomaster 4500 transferred the RIAA to the record player as this allowed a longer cable to be fitted to the record player and gave better siting options.
