”… none have had such a stately bearing as the Balance II, you can hear the engineering in turntables and this one sounds like a Rolls Royce.”

”…the Brinkmann shows off its imaging skills with results that are positively holographic.”

”…the turntable is so calm, distortion levels are way below those usually encountered with turntables, so it’s able to resolve fine details to a higher degree, a far higher degree to be frank.”

”If after all these years, digital has still left you slightly cold, I assure you the Brinkmann Nyquist will not. It offers top digital performance for about what you’d pay for one of Mr. Brinkmann’s Bardo turntables with a top phono cartridge. But you never know, a few days listening to the Nyquist and you might not even want to be bothered spinning those black discs! It’s that engaging.”

Jeff Dorgay– TONE

”The Brinkmann always developed a special understanding for fine dynamic and tonal nuances, dabbing delicate details into his well organized and diversified sound patterns with a sure hand and, depending on the music, offering a smooth and fluid timing.

The Taurus thus emphasized Helmut Brinkmann’s instinctive feeling, who launched a worthy direct-drive counterpart to the almost legendary belt-drive turntable ”Balance”. And the RöNtII crowns his work of sound art by adding even more musical soul to the Taurus’s immaculate body – listening to it thus becomes an experiences that will stick in your memory for ages to come.”

When contrasted with much more expensive equipment from CH Precision, Boulder and Ypsilon, the Brinkmann preamplifier doesn’t quite have their magnanimity of sound, grip, and airiness. CH Precision produces a cavernous black space that seems unrivaled. Boulder has a degree of control that is unique to it. And Ypsilon lights up the soundstage. But Brinkmann comes remarkably close and has its own set of virtues. It has a dynamism and smooth continuity that are immensely. beguiling. It represents formidable German engineering allied to a profound sense of musicality that will be difficult for most listeners to resist.

Reviewer Jacob Heilbrunn listened to the Edison both through the Brinkmann Marconi and Ypsilon silver PST-100 preamp, which afforded him the opportunity to hear exactly what it was—and was not—doing. The sheer artistry that the Edison conveyed on the Philips recording The Delectable Elly Ameling was a combination of the sublime and the beautiful. On Mozart’s wonderful motet Exsultate, Jubilate, the Edison tracked every syllable, every quaver, every trill that Ameling enunciated during her ravishing performance. There wasn’t a trace of sibilance or harshness. Instead, the Brinkmann delivered a posh, upholstered sound that was quite delectable. Breathtaking, actually.

”On Leonard Cohen’s final album You Want It Darker, the Nyquist and Marconi created a wide and deep soundstage that allowed you to track each accompanying instrument carefully. The bass was deep, but always carefully delineated.”

”…the Brinkmann gear handled the bass region extremely well, revealing nuances that other equipment sometimes skate over.”

”The combination of analog-like warmth, bloom, and ease along with the state-of-the-art in digital connectivity makes the Nyquist an extremely compelling package.”

”Eschewing an enclosed plinth in favor of an open chassis, the Spyder mounts the platter assembly’s base on a cylindrical pillar. Additional cylindrical pillars support up to four tonearms as well as the outboard motor. The Spyder’s sound is transparent, dynamic, low in perceived distortion, with a high degree of neutrality. It exhibits a clarity without that etched quality that is sometimes mistaken for clarity or transparency or resolution. The Spyder is also well isolated from external disturbance, even when the music gets big, deep, and loud. Operationally this setup was a joy to use, its fit and finish of a caliber that spells “G-E-R-M-A-N” in caps. In sum, here’s a vinyl player of all-around excellence that should provide years of performance both pleasurable and trouble-free.”

Paul Seydor, The Absolute Sound

”In the great scheme of high-end turntables, Brinkmann’s Spyder is a redoubtable device. It offers rhythmic ease, great clarity, a smooth tonal balance and expansive soundstaging – making it a highly enjoyable listen. Factor in its excellent finish, flexible design and overall engineering, and even at this price it is fine value. Those fortunate enough to aspire to such a thing should consider it an essential audition.”
