r/turntables on Reddit: Bang and Olufsen Beograd RX2 turntable reviews?
October 27, 2022 -

Hi there, I’m interested in buying a B&O Beogram RX2 turntable that comes with a sound smith stylus. According to the seller it was NOS when they bought it 12 years ago and the stylus has about 60 hours on it, then it was in storage.

Just wondering what are the thoughts and suggestions on this turntable is? I love the B&O designs, but to my understanding I would have to buy a preamp and it would be replacing my veteran Audiotechnica lp60x.

Any knowledge or advice accepted, thank you!

They are fantastic tables. The rx2 uses an ultra low mass tone arm along with a cartridge that doesn't need much tracking force weight. By design they can pickup every little detail hidden away in a record. Soundsmith also makes high quality carts. The rx2 is mechanically simple and doesn't often need service if used regularly. The only thing that tends to wear out are their platter belts. They are also fully automatic. Auto record size detection and speed selection. The center section of the platter basically weighs the record to see if it's a 45 or and lp. The platter and pickup sit on their own floating chassis. This provides isolation from any external movement or vibration. You can dance next to the table without issue. Ive actually moved a table while playing and it didn't miss a beat. If you ever run into a TX2, that adds repeat play. The main negatives of these tables is cart selection. They can only use mmc series carts. BO sold the rights to Soundsmith so that is the only source of carts. Last I checked their cheapest car is around 200. But for 200$ you are getting as nice or nicer cart than you would spending 200$ on another brand. The other negative is its drive system. The belt drive servo motor works well but there are a ton of tables from the 80s that have quartz timing for improved accuracy. Honestly I can't tell the difference in fluctuations between my rx2 tx2 and my denon dp45 (has one of the most accurate platters of its time) I will admit I am a little biased. I have 3 BO tables, 4 tables in total. A 8002, tx2, and rx2. The non BO is the Denon. https://imgur.com/a/yCN6C9L record detection https://imgur.com/a/jZj1APc

October 11, 2021 - It was well made with some good features for the price back in the 80s. This was the entry level that sold for around 250 bucks, 200 when on sale. I think this table was (for me anyway) better than the linear tracking or some of the tables geared to specific B&O systems.

November 11, 2020 - Took my RX2 off the shelf, probably last used it in early 2014. As far as I recollect it worked fine, I even transferred a few albums at that time. It now has issues. Sound level is very low ( I have it hooked thru phono inputs of a Yamaha RX450), muted and somewhat scratchy. My vinyl was well used and often had scratches but ...

r/turntables on Reddit: Thoughts about B&O RX2?
October 11, 2021 - I've got one and like it. I found it off of Craiglist last year from a guy in his late 60's downsizing. Still had the original box and manual. I'm using the MMC4 cartridge and it sounds great to me. Then again I still listen to my original Dead Kennedy's and Jonathan Richman albums from the 80's.
