After many months of going back and forth, between different turntables and many auditionings (TW-Acoustics, Techdas AF3 premium, Kronos Pro, Kuzma XLDC, Sikora) I took the decision to go for the Brinkmann Balance, which I had never auditioned properly before.
The decision wasn’t easy, but Denis‘ (DCC) and Ked’s experience was the decisive factor besides Fremer’s reviews.
During this process among others Helmut Brinkmann had told me ‘... We made the turntable in the thought of a musical instrument, not as a spaceship, if you allow this comment. ...’
Two weeks ago my Brinkmann Balance was delivered, together with the RONT tube power supply and the HRS/Brinkmann platform.
From the very first interaction with the Balance (During unboxing and installation), I was impressed with the high quality level, the precision and the engineering of this legendary turntable.
I was sure that Balance would make a positive improvement on my analogue sound, but I wasn’t prepared for the extend. This turntable has introduced such a fundamental improvement to my system, at such a degree that is shocking. My system is literally re-born with Brinkmann Balance.
From the first listening moment I was blown by the full sound, the exceptional sound stage and positioning, the spatial detail, the balanced detailed sound, the spatial sense of all dimensions and that bass....everything that I was dreaming of.
I believe that this turntable has it all, the charming looks, the pace, the dynamics, the most quite operation possible with the blackest blacks and inexistent noise/vibration levels.
If I would need to use a simple description I would confidently say that listening to the Brinkmann Balance is like driving a Rolls Royce.
Since its installation there was not a single moment that I wasn’t totally ecstatic with the sound. I will certainly revert with more details on the sound of my BB with the Kuzma 4P/ Lyra Etna.
At the meantime I would like to thank Denis (@dcc) and Ked (@bonzo75) for their accurate and true descriptions and reviews.
