The Finest Direct-Drive Turntable on the Planet

Brinkmann Audio Taurus

More than a decade ago, Brinkmann rewrote the rules of direct drive with Oasis—the first thoroughly modern direct-drive turntable to unite iron-clad pitch stability with the liquidity and musical flow once reserved for belt drive. The legendary Bardo followed, becoming Brinkmann’s best-selling turntable of all time.

Today, those hard-won lessons—refined through Spyder, perfected in Balance, and informed by the digital mastery of Nyquist—culminate in a single, uncompromising statement:

Taurus — the finest direct-drive turntable Brinkmann knows how to build.

Authority, Control, and Musical Truth

At its heart, Taurus retains Brinkmann’s bespoke magnetic-field motor, engineered to proprietary specifications and governed by their celebrated “Soft” speed control. The result is unwavering pitch accuracy—rock-solid yet utterly unforced—with a sense of timing that feels alive rather than mechanical.

But Taurus goes far beyond its forebears.

40 mm Duraluminum chassis, inspired by the flagship Balance
Resonance-optimized for deep-black backgrounds and vanishing mechanical noise
Deeper, more visceral bass paired with startling agility and forward momentum
Wireless speed selection, via an engraved aluminum control disc—pure Brinkmann elegance

This is direct drive elevated to an art form: powerful, precise, and profoundly musical.

Built to Evolve With You

Drawing inspiration from the modular brilliance of Spyder, Taurus introduces a proprietary Collar System, allowing effortless conversion between single-arm and dual-arm configurations.

Supports virtually all tonearms from 9″ to 12″
Future-proof flexibility without compromise
Supplied with Brinkmann’s Performance Power Supply
Optional upgrade to the revered RöNt vacuum tube power supply
Includes Brinkmann’s crystal glass platter mat for sonic refinement and easy care

Baby Balance or Big Brother Bardo?

That’s for you to decide.

What’s certain is this: Taurus defines the ultimate expression of direct-drive turntable technology—combining durability, pitch perfection, and an almost analog-tape sense of flow into one breathtakingly resolved instrument.

If vinyl is your passion, Taurus is your destination.
