Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between these two turntables? They are similar in price & both have hydrodynamic magnetic bearings, although the Brinkmann is direct drive as opposed to the more conventional design of the TR. Any opinions or experiences would be appreciated!

I recommend you call Jay @ Revelation Audio in Carlsbad, CA. Nice guy and he carries both lines I believe.

Thanks Mark, but i'm keen to hear from those outside the Industry about the differences in these two tables and hopefully ascertain which sounds better :)

These are both rare turntables. I really doubt many people have heard both, and probably no one has heard both in he same system.

I can say that the fit and finish of my Transrotor is excellent. It's the modern Micro.
