Difference between Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis?

Hi Ps68,

Shipping was delayed while additional armboards were drilled, so it's not here yet. Judging by the tracking info, it ought to be landing at LAX around now (am I eager or what?), about to clear customs and head north. I'll report back after we get acquainted. I'll be using a Tri-planar to start because my Phantom II is with Bob Graham at the moment.

This is an old thread, but I have a Bardo now and have been scouring the web, well cause that's what I do. My question is does anyone use a platter mat, and or a clamp/weight other than what Brinkmann provides.

@huang

Does your Bardo have the Brinkmann crystal mat?

@sc2 Yes I have the crystal mat.

Here we are, nearly a decade later, and I'm still enjoying my Oasis. It's not my only deck but I won't part with it. The Bardo and Oasis share the same platter, with the adhered crystal mat coming stock on the Oasis. After experimenting with several mats (atop the crystal mat) and several other weights and clamps, I've concluded that the nude crystal mat is best, as is the Brinkmann clamp for this turntable.
