I’ve got a full Beosystem 3500 that I was lucky enough to pick up brand new in box back in February. I’ve always wanted to add a Beogram 3500 turntable to complete the set, but the prices are eye-watering—around £1000 just for the TT. Considering I only paid £200 for the entire system, which still works beautifully, that’s hard to justify. Recently I came across a local Beogram 3300 for £80, which isn’t a bad match visually or technically. I know the BM3500 doesn’t have a built-in phono pre-amp (which is easy enough to solve with an external unit), but like the other components I want it to pass datalink. At the moment I don’t think it is, because when I plug it into the TP2/phono input on the back, nothing actually happens. (Yes I know without an RIAA stage) its going to be too quiet, but I am trying to figure out the remote functionality for now I’ve already emailed Steve at Sounds Heavenly for advice but also asking here too. I know the turntable itself is good—I tested it at the seller’s house on a Beocenter 9300 and all the remote functions worked there. any help or advice appreciated   Ryan
