Brinkmann vs HR-X vs SME 30

The SME sound flat on rock but great for classical. The brinkmann sounds great on any type of music yet still beats the sme even on classical. The brinkmann arm is also a great deal better than the sme V (both of which I have owned). It sounds even better with the airtangent.

I havent listened to the vpi. The kuzma sounds good but it is not in the same league as the brinkmann or the yorke.

The brinkmann arm CAN take VDH - in fact Mr VDH uses brinkmann to develop his cartridges!

The breuer and brinkmann arms are compatible with a wide range of cartridges. I have heard many combinations and they all sound excellent. people rave about the michell orbe with the brinkmann arm. Essentially you can use the arm and cartridge on just about anything. I have heard the brinkmann arm with dynavector te-katora and it sounded superb. I have also heard VDH cartridges on the breuer and they fit and sound fine.

Which turntbale manufacturer dissed the brinkmann arm? That manufacturer makes their own arm right? ;) Trust only your own ears and even then be skeptical

While the brinkmann is derived from the breuer it does sound very different - I have compared with the breuer 5,7 and 8 and the brinkmann is much faster, dynamic and coherent. Its a very large leap. Wasnt the condor developed on the brinkmann arm?
