Bergmann Magne Turntable

  • Hello Everybody !




    I am a new french member.




    Excuse me, my english and my german are poor !




    Since 8 years, I use a good turntable THORENS TD 520 with a tonearm
    SME 3012 R.


    Now, I would want to find a new "high-performance" machine. I have
    2 choices :




    - BRINKMANN Bardo


    - BERGMANN Magne




    In France, I don't find informations about people who use this
    turntable MAGNE.


    It is for me an expensive purchase and I don't want to do a mistake.


    Maybe,on this forum, somebody use this turntable, so
    if you could answer to my questions, I would be very happy :




    Still use it you ?


    Is the sound excellent ?


    Is it easy to use and to adjust the tangential tonearm ?


    Is the compressor pump really silent ?


    Is this system reliable for a long time or have you experienced
    problems with the turntable, the tonearm or the compressor ?


    Because of the dust ?


    In the past, a lot of people had problems with tangential tonearms.
    But it was not the same technology ?


    As you see, I have many questions. I am not quiet because this
    system is new for me !




    Do you know my other choice, BRINKMANN Bardo, very famous in Germany
    ?


    In Paris, it is very difficult for listening this turntable. The
    retailers don't use it for demonstration.




    I don't have others questions anymore for the moment !!!




    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.




    Have a nice day




    Best Regards .

  • Welcome in our nice and crazy forum Claude!


    I don´t have a Magne, but i use an Airtangent tonearm, and for me i will never change, just owning an ADDITIONAL pivot tonearm :D


    Both machines - Magne and Bardo - are some you will not change again. I know the Bergmann turntables from several small and big fairs,
    and i like the sound, design and making of of them.


    The Bardo is one of the less new available direct drives, and it´s also a nearly "best choice", with a big view on moving the Platter.


    Anyway, with both of them you get happy, in my opinion!


    Kind regards

  • Hi Claude .


    I listened to the Bergmann only on audioshows but i can say something about the compressor pump.

    Zitat

    Is the compressor pump really silent ?


    Yes, nothing hearable nearby.
