breuer 5c tonearm


there is not much info to be found on this arm. i'm in the process of mounting it to my micro seiki rx 1500. i have sent my phono cable out to be re-terminated for the din connection. the din on the arm seems to have thicker pins than the standard din plug. anyone else have any experience with this arm? general recommendations? please share any experience that you have had with the arm.
thanks

well i finally got everything together to mount the breuer on the micro 1500. i would not have ever thought that there would be so much improvement possible in changing tonearms. comparing it to the max 282, the breuer sounds alive. tremendous depth of soundstage and tons of life in the highs and mids. vocals are real, piano is real, bass is tight and defined. what a beautiful arm. the max has a new home on my ddx because the breuer is now at home on my rx1500!

Brizonbiovizier, can you expand on your statement about the brinkman? i'd be interested in understanding what differences you heard. thanks.

I owned a 5 for more than 10 years in the 90s.It replaced a Fidelity Research 64fx in my system.I found it significantly better than the FR making that arm sounding flat and lacking in detail.

For a long time the Breuer was mounted simultaneously as a Goldmund T3 on a Goldmund table. On the odd occasion that the T3 worked it showed the Breuer to be somewhat lightweight sounding with well defined but not very powerful bass, lacking in dynamics and with quite a narrow soundstage getting even narrower at the back.

I always had a nagging suspicion that the 5 geometry was not quite correct. It is the only arm I ever owned that had audible end of side distortion,no matter how many times I remounted it.Interesting that all the later Breuer arms were longer than the 5.

Despite that I still miss the 5. It had a delicacy and beauty to its sound that I have never heard since.BTW cartridges used with it was an EMT vd Hul and Koetsu Onyx.Despite huge differences in weight both worked very well.
