Offered is „Balance + 10.5 + RöNt“ by Brinkmann Audio as second-hand device from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8982896065 ends on 27.10.2026 at 06:18 o'clock.
At €14,950, this Brinkmann Audio Balance + 10.5 + RöNt is ambitious compared to the obvious alternative of buying a new Brinkmann Bardo system, which starts around €13,990, and it far exceeds the typical used market for this specific combo. The asking price sits well above the 75th percentile of €8,829 and is more than double the median of €7,250 from 24 recent EUR listings, making it a tough sell unless the condition is pristine and accessories are complete.
The Balance turntable is revered for its focused, detailed, and highly resolving sound that remains refined and relaxing, driven by a smooth 4-phase Sinus motor that eliminates cogging. The optional RöNt tubed power supply is considered the ideal completion, delivering the warmth and musicality that defines this system. If this is original-owner gear in excellent condition with the full setup, the sonic upside and rarity of the tubed version could justify the premium, but any signs of wear or missing items would make this price hard to defend.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Brinkmann Audio traces its origins to 1985 in Germany, when Helmut Brinkmann founded the company after selling his stake in Audiolabor, where he had developed acclaimed products like the Konstant turntable. Fans urged him to continue his innovations, leading to Brinkmann's debut with the legendary Balance turntable—a design still in continuous production today. Handcrafted entirely from German parts in Germany, the brand embodies Helmut's relentless pursuit of the "perfect illusion" of musical playback, rooted in engineering simplicity and enduring quality.
The company specializes in high-end analog components, renowned for its exceptional turntables, tonearms, and phono preamplifiers, with past offerings including phono cartridges. Brinkmann has expanded into electronics, producing preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated amplifiers to complete the audio chain, while designing and manufacturing every element in-house for seamless synergy.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Brinkmann commands a cult following among discerning audiophiles for its refined German craftsmanship and uncompromising performance. It stands as a niche boutique icon, delivering magical, lifelike sound that elevates vinyl and digital playback to reference levels, appealing to collectors and perfectionists who demand the pinnacle of hi-fi artistry.
