Bang&Olufsen Biete hier fünf Bang & Olufsen Geräte an: - Beomaster Panel 5000 - Beomaster 5000 - Beocord 5000 - Beogram 5005 - Beogram CD50 - diverse Kabel Alle Geräte verkaufe ich als defekt, könnten jedoch für Bastler oder als Ersatzteillager interessant sein. Die fünf Geräte sind Teil der Kategorie Video & Audio und könnten mit etwas Geschick wieder zum Leben erweckt werden. Eine Funktionsprüfung habe ich nicht durchgeführt, da ich davon keine Ahnung habe ... daher nochmals der Hinweis: Geräte sind DEFEKT und werden auch als DEFEKT angeboten... auch wenn sich unter Strom die Geräte anstellen lassen bzw. der Plattenteller sich dreht oder die Schächte aufgehen. Schaut Euch die Bilder an, bei Bedarf schicke ich noch weitere zu. Auf den Bilder kann der Zustand ganz gut erkannt werden. Trotzdem ideal für Liebhaber von Vintage-Technologie und Bang & Olufsen Sammler. Privatverkauf, keine Rücknahme. Ausschließlich ABHOLUNG in Hanau (20 km von Frankfurt entfernt). Fragen, ob ein Versand doch möglich wäre, müssen leider abgelehnt werden. Siehe auch meine weiteren B&O Artikel, ggf. sind doch weitere Vintage Teile dabei.

This is a Bang Olufsen B&O Beogram 5005 Turntable/Record Player. It includes the original MMC 3 Cartridge which seems to still be in good condition. I put the unit through its paces and could not find any issues or problems with it except that I did notice a little warble in the audio and I am not sure if that is from the record I have or if the platter itself is not spinning evenly. It has been sitting for many years so it could be the belt just needs to be replaced. The unit does have some cosmetic issues so please be sure to take a good look at the pictures and please ask any questions if you have any. Sold as-is/As Pictured.

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 cartridgeIf 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.
