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lost and none added from extraneous sources.No cartridge will ever reach this ideal unless the Laws of Physics can be repealed.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

You are bidding on a very nice, Bang Olufsen CD 6500 Mdl. 5138 CD Player. This unit is clean and appears to be completely functional. Note: This unit has a Coaxial digital output in addition to 7 pin DIN. There is no analog RCA output. Manufacturers Description: ? Features the Legendary High End DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) chip TDA1541A and CDM-4/11 transport from Philips. These guys invented the CD so know how to make it sing. ? Specially mounted disc drive to isolate it from vibration ? Elegant aluminium plate disc tray machined out to the size of a compact disc with a completely smooth and silent drive ? A built-in circuit in the player compensates for the tiniest faults on the disc itself (No. Theyre not perfect) ? Programme tracks to be played in any order ? Or sample each track briefly ? The display shows you the length of the track youre playing and the remaining time on the disc - invaluable for recording ? The deck is on the right-hand side side of the fascia so that the loading of a cassette into the Beocord 5500/6500 tape recorder placed below, is not obstructed ? Philips radial single beam pickup system and brushless DC spindle motor ? Has a concentric 8cm circular recess machined into the loading plate, to accept CD singles. ? Also has a Coaxial digital output in addition to 7 pin DIN ? Controllable via a Beolink 1000 or MCP Master Control Panel The QUALITRONICS DIFFERENCE If you wanted to indulge yourself with the finest sound quality then youd do no better than listening to your favourite pieces of music on Bang & Olufsens Beogram CD 6500. Beogram CD 6500 was a replacement for its predecessor, Beogram CD 5500. It offered sound reproduction which would satisfy even the most demanding of listeners. The quality of the Beogram CD 5500 CD player took time to fully appreciate. For example, the elegant disc tray with its completely smooth and silent drive. Or the way that the disc drive system was mounted to isolate it from vibrations. Perhaps you were most impressed by the way that a built-in circuit in the player compensated for the tiniest faults on the disc itself (contrary to popular belief theyre not always perfect!). Finding tracks was both fast and easy - it was necessary to just ask the Master Control Panel for the track number you wanted. You could programme tracks to be played in any order, or sample each track briefly. There was a light display which showed you the length of the track you were playing and the remaining time on the disc - invaluable for recording. Though very similar to look at to Beogram CD 50, this all-new Philips-based machine was a radical departure, both in manufacturing and technical terms. Beogram CD 5500 was the first CD player to be entirely designed by Bang & Olufsen and with the exception of the optical deck, it was entirely made by the company too. The performance and reliability of the Beogram CDX models probably influenced the choice of the Philips radial single beam pickup system and brushless DC spindle motor. Externally, a slim aluminium plate machined out to the size of a compact disc replaced the Beogram CD 50 door and drawer loading system and it moved quickly and silently, again in marked contrast to its predecessor. The deck was on the right-hand side side of the fascia as opposed to Beogram CD 50 left-hand side arrangement, so that the loading of a cassette into the new Beocord 5500 tape recorder, which you had the option of placing below, was not obstructed. Later versions had a concentric 8cm circular recess machined into the loading plate, to accept CD singles. With the Beogram CD 5500 there was no infra-red sensor option, and the front panel controls were even more basic, so at very least a Beomaster 5500 and Beolink 1000 terminal were needed to use it properly. On the back panel, there was a 7-pin Datalink socket for Beomaster 5500, and a single phono digital output connection, for which there was never a use within the B&O range. The performance of this outstanding machine was never bettered, and with the exception of minor styling and software revisions, it remained virtually unchanged until the end of the separates system range with the Beogram CD 7000. Beogram CD 6500 could be used as part of the Beosystem 6500 hi-fi system. Condition (see pictures): This unit has been tested using the digital coax output and all function worked. The tray moves ion and out as it should, the tracking and sound was perfect. There are some light scratches on the case but nothing bad. Look at the pictures and judge for yourself, this is a rare find in this condition. Features: ? Manufacturer- Bang Olufsen ? Designer: Jacob Jensen ? Colors: Silver, Black, White ?

Original Bang & Olufsen MMC5 Cartridge/StylusUk stock ready for dispatch NOW Sounds greatChecked on a spectrum analyser, delicate, accurate and precise matching perfectly to its published specificationTracking perfectly with 1.5gram vertical tracking force Courtesy of Beoworld.org MMC stands for Moving Micro-Cross; the patented moving-iron principle upon which all B&O cartridges were based. 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.

B&O Beogram CD 6500 / CD-Player Mit Philips CDM 4/11 Laufwerk Ich Verkaufe hier einen Beogram CD6500, der Marke Bang & Olufsen. Der CD-Player lässt sich einschalten und fährt den CD Einwurf aus, sowie auch ein. Eingelegte CD‘s werden sehr schnell eingelesen und die Titelanzahl angezeigt. Das überspringen von Titeln ist ebenfalls problemlos möglich. Der Defekt besteht darin, dass ich kein Audiosignal über meinen abgeschlossenen Verstärker hören konnte. Der CD-Spieler an sich läuft also, es kommt aber kein Ton heraus. Woran es genau liegt kann ich leider nicht sagen. Optisch ist das Gerät noch sehr gut erhalten! Ein gut verpackter Versand ist auf Risiko des Käufers möglich, hierzu wird die Transportsicherung des Gerätes mit aktiviert. Für weitere Fragen stehe ich auch gerne zur Verfügung! Der Verkauf erfolgt unter Ausschluss jeglicher Sachmangelhaftung. Die Ware wird unter Ausschluss jeglicher Gewährleistung verkauft.

BANG & OLUFSEN BEOGRAM CD 6500 CD Player. Good quality cd player. Works as it should. Best when used with other Bang& Olufsen Beomasters so you can use all the functions. Has a digital output so can be used as a transport. Case has some marks and dents please see pictures

Bang & Olufsen Beogram 6500 Tangentialarmplattenspieler. Verkaufe diesen Plattenspieler, der bis vor 2 Jahren voll funktionsfähig war. Er stammt aus einem Nichtraucherhaushalt und ist optisch in einem sehr guten Zustand. Leider ist die Haltenase für das Anbringen des Seilzuges am Tangentialschlitten abgebrochen und das Seil damit nicht mehr fixierbar. Eine Minischraube anstelle der Nase und die richtige Führung des Seils - schon müsste er wieder funktionieren. Den Zustand der Nadel kann ich schlecht beurteilen, sie müsste sicherlich nach einiger weiteren Laufzeit ersetzt werden. Es handelt ich um einen MMC 4 Tonabnehmer. Ich verkaufe den Plattenspieler als Ersatzteil und nicht funktionsfähig. Da Privatverkauf, keine Garantie oder Rücknahme.
