With MMC4 Stylus

Just serviced

The Beogram 2000 (specifically the 1983-1987 model) is a stylish, 2-speed radial-tracking turntable known for its minimalist design, user-friendly automation, and high-quality sound, often paired with the MMC4 or MMC5 cartridges. While lauded for its aesthetics and ease of use, it is a vintage, proprietary system that requires caution due to delicate parts, potential belt issues, and costly cartridge replacements.

Key Features and Performance

Design: A high-fidelity, radial-tracking turntable featuring an aluminum platter and side panels with a, for its time, modern aesthetic, often paired with the Beomaster 2000.

Operation: Known for "one-touch" simplicity; users place a record, hit "Play," and the system automatically detects record size (7", 10", or 12") to set speed and cueing.

Cartridge: Originally fitted with MMC4 or MMC5, which are highly regarded for sound quality, but replacements can be challenging to find, often requiring specialists like Soundsmith.

Performance: Features low wow and flutter (\(\leq 0.12\%\)) and effective anti-skating.

Pros

Aesthetics: Stunning, timeless 1980s Scandinavian design.

Ease of Use: Fully automatic, simple operation.

Sound Quality: Excellent, especially when paired with a good condition MMC4 cartridge.

No Setup: Often described as plug-and-play compared to traditional decks like the Linn LP12.
