At the High End Show in Munich, Brinkmann unveiled the 2013 two arm Balance which incorporates the new Sinus motor and a new bearing to boot. The new two arm Balance will ship in June @ $30k retail. The price includes two arm-boards of your choice (10 or 12″), record clamp and the large solid state power supply.
Helmut Brinkmann mentioned to me on the phone, that the extra mass of the larger plinth & extra arm-board pod (almost 30% more than the one arm version, excluding bearing), gives even deeper bass and the new bearing & motor is quieter than before and offer even greater dynamics and a more life-like presentation. I can’t wait to get one for ourselves…
