Brinkmann
Helmut Brinkmann is committed to perfecting the illusion of high-fidelity music playback, aiming to make it indistinguishable from the original. For him, "High Fidelity" is the ultimate goal, where listeners can experience their favourite recordings as if the artists were performing live. He distinguishes true high fidelity from terms like "High-End," which only reflect current technological limits.
At Brinkmann, every component is crafted with precision to enhance sound quality. Helmut Brinkmann personally inspects each part, ensuring it meets rigorous standards. This handmade approach, combined with advanced manufacturing techniques, allows for optimal performance. While vinyl playback presents challenges, Brinkmann offers a complete lineup of analog equipment that works in harmony, alongside amplifiers that highlight the synergy between mechanical and electronic components.
The Brinkmann Bardo turntable combines cutting-edge engineering with meticulous craftsmanship to deliver an exceptional listening experience. Featuring a magnetic direct drive motor developed by Helmut Brinkmann, the Bardo ensures precise, consistent speed without the cogging effects commonly found in other direct drive turntables. The innovative motor system, coupled with a metal-cased power supply from the renowned Brinkmann Balance and LaGrange models, enhances bass response and expands the soundstage for a more immersive audio experience. With two speed options (33 1/3 and 45 rpm), fine-tuned controls, and customisable tonearm bases, the Bardo offers both versatility and superior performance.
Output sockets on the back of the turntable allow for RCA, XLR, or DIN connections, offering flexibility for various setups. Its thoughtful design includes easy tonearm adjustment, ensuring compatibility with tonearms ranging from 9" to 12". For optimal performance, the Bardo can be also paired with the RöNt II vacuum tube power supply, providing the ultimate in high-fidelity sound.
