Has anyone had any experience with this new direct-drive turntable from Brinkman, the Bardo, which is derived from its more expense Oasis model. Has anyone even heard it at shows or festivals? I am curious about its sonics because it addresses some issues about direct-drive genre and I wonder what the sonic result or characteristic is compare to classic direct-drive models. It uses a coreless ironless motor with a very stout bearing that some marketing people like to term it as a "magnetic drive" system. I have always had good experience with coreless motor in classic models from JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, Yamaha, etc... so I am curious about its sound in a modern design. Hey, it's good to see something new, even in new bottle.

 Kenwood L-07D, a different version of the motor from the above. Cool star shaped coils on the stator!!






I love motors. People would spend all day talking about plinth, constrain layered damping, belts, threads, dental floss, acrylic platter, metal platter, turntable mats, power cords, ad nauseam, and yet not many wants to pay attention to what I believe, arguably, the most important turntable component, the source of its rotation, the motor! I guess people are just so happy with that toy motor in their Scottish PRaT makers.

 I believe that your photo depicts the later version of the L07D motor. Love that L07D.

 Thanks also Trav.

That was the simplest explaination of it I've yet seen.

I'd love to hear all of the new direct drives.The Grand Prix Monaco,the Teres Certus,the Brinkmann Oasis and this new Brinkmann baby.

I would guess that the ultimate rendition of Direct Drive type turntable has not yet been realised.
