Bang & Olufsen Beogram TX2
Vintage & classic turntables · 1987–? Discontinued
$350–$650 typical US used price
A compact late-80s tangential-tracking Beogram descending from the 4000-series concept, fully automatic and using MMC cartridges. One of the last B&O turntables of the vinyl era.
Affordable entry to B&O's famous tangential tracking before turntables left their range.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- Fully automatic: the arm cues itself and returns at the end of the side.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history, especially the belt, bearing and stylus.
