En TX er slet ikke samme maskine som en 8000. TX er en 6000 uden B&Os fjernbetjeningsinterface. Den er derfor en remdrevet maskine med en B&O tangential arm.
8000 er en interessant konstruktion med en usædvanlig motor: den drives på kanten af pladetallerkenen på samme måde som en gammeldags el-måler
Beophile beskriver den således :
Looking at the two record decks, both Beolab 4000 and Beolab 8000 had similar features, and of course had similar functions. However, the platter on the Beogram 8000 was totally different in terms of technology and how it had been designed. It was based on the tangential drive principle, the same motion that is obtained when an electric current is passed through, say, your electric meter. There is no motor as such… in simple terms it’s down to magnets pulling the platter around in an extremely smooth fashion, day and night, without any upkeep or maintenance. The control of the turntable by microprocessors was totally new too. Not only did they ‘remember’ arm positions when playing a disc, but the same microprocessors were involved in the sophisticated Datalink system which had just been developed whereby useful control could now be made via the receiver’s remote control, and not just ‘START’ and ‘STOP’ as had been the case with previous versions.
No one can doubt that this machine was not of an exceptional class, but one can also look at both Beogram 4000 and Beogram 8000 to say that, despite technological advancements, the Beogram 4000 still stood ahead of its rival.
Fitted originally with the MMC 20CL pickup, Beogram 8000 was replaced by Beogram 8002 in 1984 when a new range of combined cartridges/styli was announced.
Beogram 8000 was still a lovely machine, and way ahead of its class, but it never really turned out to be the way that the engineers had hoped. It could however be used with either Beomaster 8000 or Beomaster 6000 and remains today an eagerly sought-after Bang & Olufsen product.
Hvad de prøver at sige på en pæn måde er at den ikke lyder særligt godt: Motordrevet inducererer et stærkt magnetfelt som påvirker pickuppen og maskerer mikrodetaljer. Den er nok 1000 kr værd (jeg ville købe den til den pris) men heller ikke mere.
