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lost and none added from extraneous sources.No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed.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.

Up for sale here is my prized Bang and Olufsen TX2 turntable with the superb MMC2 stylus This tangential record player is a work of art and superb in its design and operation. Firstly, this is a tangential record player, this means that the stylus moves across the record deck at a 90 degree angle to the record across the whole record. this reduces weight on the record by the stylus as it sits perfectly in groove at all times. In addition, there is a black round weight sensor in the centre of the deck, this records the weight of the record being played and sets up the record player with the correct speed (LP or Single) and sets the record player start position so that the stylus starts in exactly the correct position. There are control buttons on the record deck for moving the stylus to intended tracks on the album. These controls raise and lower the stylus in the selected position and there is also a play command button, The stylus is also moved to the requested start position on the record and can be lowered into the position required. To make this all easier to do Bang and Olufsen, in its design also incorporated a light in the back of the unit that shines across the record highlighting the grooves, making the start of tracks easily identifiable. The record player is mounted on its ground breaking suspension system that removes vibrations and keeps the record player playing at its optimum performant. This item is collection only as to fragile and valuable to post. For more information on this stunning record player please message me or call 07985 484586 I am only selling this item as I have downsized and am lacking space and has had very little use.

33 & 45 Very hard to find in working condition with good stylus. All functions work - dont need to qualify except for etc. -Press PLAY arm lifts goes to beginning of disc and lowers to play. At end of record arm lifts and returns to far right position. Press LIFT at any time arm lifts and can be moved left or right using arrow buttons. Press Play arm lowers. Press END - arm lifts and returns to far right position. NO NEED TO EVER TOUCH ARM to play music. A REALLY NICE FEATURE-PLAY FUNCTION CAN BE ACCESSED FROM FRONT PANEL WITH DUST COVER CLOSED.DUST COVER STAYS WHEREVER POSITIONED. NO CRACKS OR CLOUDINESS. PLATTER CLEARS HOUSING AS IT TURNS If you have another cartridge you prefer -take it for $195 without cartridge. I HAVE SHIPPED B&O TURNTABLES SO I KNOW HOW TO PROTECT THEM. GUARANTEED TO ARRIVE AS DESCRIBED.
