Bang & Olugsen, Beogram 8000, Type 5615, Serial No. 2950015.
Beogram 8000 was a 'state-of-the-art- product with a performance capability as near ideal as anyone had up till then invented. The platter was driven not by a conventional motor, but by a unique tangential-drive system that had no moving parts and no physical contact with the turntable. This record player /turntable from Bang & Olufsen is definitely considered one of the best.

Why a Shibata Diamond:
The Shibata shape distinguishes itself by having the necessary small contact surface at the horizontal level for playback of the ultra-high frequencies found on CD-4 records. At the vertical level, the special shape of the stylus gives a wider contact surface than is the case with either spherical or elliptical styli. This means that a Shibata shaped stylus, in spite of its high frequency capabilities, gives less record wear than the traditional stylus shapes .
