Founded in 1985 by Helmut Brinkmann, Brinkmann Audio is one of the few companies to design and manufacture every source and electronic component in the audio playback chain. Engineering simplicity and product longevity are the cornerstones of the Brinkmann design philosophy. All Brinkmann Audio components are handcrafted in Germany from German-made parts and subassemblies. 

Renowned for creating a full line of tonearms, cartridges, phono preamplifers and turntables crowned by the State-of-the-Art Balance, Brinkmann’s analog expertise has led to the  ‘Plāys with Audirvāna’ certified and tested Nyquist, the Digital-to-Analogue Converter so musical, only an analogue leader could have designed it.
