Stereophile Class A tables


Quickly looked in recommended components and saw 2 Brinkmann tables listed in class A the Balanced and Bardo. Is the Balanced worth over 3 times the cost vs. the Bardo given the fact they are both class A?

I own a Bardo and it's by far the best table I've had in a looooong time. It blows away my TTWeights table that couldn't even hold it's speed steady. Never heard the Balanced but some day will get a chance to compare them, hopefully.

Wrm I've never compared these 2 Brinkmann's sorry.I personnally feel a plinthless design will cause less conerns IMHO.

I can tell you of a time Valin was completely unprofessional regarding reviewing my product called the Vibraplane. He received the unit and within hrs called me saying it was the next best thing other than sliced bread! He wrote a remarkable review but after I requested payment (below cost) he never paid so we had the unit picked up. Surprise surprise when the review never came out in TAS.
