Brinkman Balance Comparisons


For those who have the Brinkman or compared it to others please chime in. How does it compare to the Avid, TW Raven AC and SME 30? I heard the Raven AC has been compared to the Brinkman in Germany extensively. any thoughts? Also, how critical is a good support stand to achieve it's perfromance?

Thanks for your help,

Congratulations! Save the Universe for the Schroder and blow your mind. I wish you could hear what I have going on to know how happy I am.

Hi RWD, Rick. I hope I am making the right decision as well. I change my mind to purchase a Scheu DL1 to TW acustic Raven AC after recommendation by dealer ( also fr all the readings about how wonderful the turntable is). Pairing it with Schroeder ( lower range Schroeder. Too long waiting period for a better Schroeder tonearm) and a Jan Allaerts MC1B catridge. Waiting anxiously for it to arrive in another 2 weeks or so. Happy Listening
