The Brinkmann Taurus is a reference direct-drive turntable engineered to combine the speed accuracy and authority of Brinkmann’s proprietary magnetic drive system with the refinement and low mechanical noise of the company’s flagship designs. Designed and manufactured in Germany, it builds upon the Bardo with a substantially more rigid chassis, heavier platter and innovative modular arm mounting system, delivering exceptional stability, dynamic expression and musical realism.
A massive 10kg alloy platter with a polished crystal glass mat, precision hydrodynamic journal bearing and 40mm resonance-optimised Duraluminium chassis contribute to its clarity, timing and dynamic expression. Brinkmann’s proprietary magnetic direct-drive motor with Soft proportional speed control ensures exceptionally smooth rotation, while the Collar System allows simple conversion between single and twin tonearm configurations, accommodating virtually any 9 to 12-inch tonearm.
