Brinkmann Audio
Some say that perfect music playback is an illusion. Helmut Brinkmann however, leaves nothing to chance as he works on perfecting this illusion, thus making music playback as real as possible.
Brinkmann does not build according to cost-optimized manufacturing processes; instead, Brinkmann is handmade. Prior to delivery, Helmut Brinkmann personally scrutinizes each and every component, making sure that every piece works and functions exactly as intended. Only this level of rigorous quality control assures that components bearing our name will meet our – admittedly very high – standards.
Don't let the term “handmade” fool you, however; of course we don't really manufacture by hand. Instead, our facilities utilize only the finest high-performance machines and tools available today, which allow for precision manufacturing not possible only a few short years ago. This level of precision is of utmost importance, as it all
Don't let the term “handmade” fool you, however; of course we don't really manufacture by hand. Instead, our facilities utilize only the finest high-performance machines and tools available today, which allow for precision manufacturing not possible only a few short years ago. This level of precision is of utmost importance, as it allows us to build our components to the exact tolerances we have identified during painstaking listening sessions and product evaluations. As we then begin to assemble each of the parts by hand and turn them into amplifiers, tonearms and turntables, we can eliminate any compromises from the equation. Through this process, we can leave assembly line optimizations to others and instead focus on optimal sound quality and perfect execution.
For Brinkmann, “High Fidelity” stands as the ultimate pinnacle of achievable sound reproduction. Simply put, there is nothing better than “High Fidelity”: after all, a facsimile can never sound better than the original.
Each device, no matter whether a turntable or an amplifier, has a well defined function. Good design is the reduction of the ingredients to their most essential; ideally there is nothing to be found inside or elsewhere on a device that is not directly related to the device's function.
Hence we conclude that each single part of the device, no matter how trivial, has an influence on sound. Yes, even the smallest screw.
Review in The Absolute Sound by Allan Moulton Apr 23rd, 2021
Review Summary:
"...the best direct-drive Brinkmann manages to combine love and appreciation in a way that few can, and it’s a clear step above the best $10k–$20k ’tables I’ve experienced, fully justifying its status as a reference. It’s one of the only products I’ve heard about which I have no reservations. I actually miss it."
