The Beogram 6006 was basically a slightly cost-reduced 8000 and the 6002 was indeed effectively a cunningly re-packaged 4002 to match the Beomaster 6000 as part of the Beolab 6000 system. More details here:https://beocentral.com/tangential-turntables
On this basis, either would be well worthy of consideration as more affordable alternatives to the 8000/8002. I've not heard a 6002 but would expect it to have more in common with the 4002. However, it takes the later MMCx cartridges rather than the older MMC20x types, so it may come down to which of these you prefer. I like the MMCx models but, as mentioned previously, my friend Tim prefers the MMC20x models. To be honest, I don't think you'll be disappointed with either!
Exactly what I was expecting actually, I had a feeling the 6002 was a evolution of the 4002 since internally its very similar.
Ideally the dream would be a 4000 or a 8002 (4000 would defo tick the dream factor the most) but honestly the costs of them are just... crazy! I'm sure they are worth it performance wise but it's slot of money either way, and especially on the 8000s with that incredibly on the edge of tech mech.
Really appreciate the response, I think we'll gun for a 6002 unless a reasonable priced 4k/8k pop up, just have always wanted one and as someone that studies Mid-century Modernism it's perfect visually!
