"After long years of interest, research and development, Helmut Brinkmann constructed the magnetic direct drive turntable »Oasis«. Since this project was well received by music lovers all over the world, we decided to release a second model that features the magnetic direct drive motor and is inspired by the design of our top-of-the-line models »Balance« and »LaGrange«."

Enter: Bardo.

"The »Bardo performance« features the metal cased power supply that is used for the »Balance« and »LaGrange« turntables instead of the standard power supply. The result is a more defined bass response and a wider room imaging."
