High End 2018: Vandersteen and Brinkmann

Vandersteen Seven loudspeakers powered by Brinkmann electronics.

Vandersteen Audio, from the USA, demonstrated their Model Seven Mk II loudspeaker with a complete set of electronics from Brinkmann Audio, of Germany.

The Brinkmann system consisted of the Balance turntable with an EMT-Ti cartridge, the Edison phono stage, the Nyquist streaming DAC, the Marconi line stage preamplifier, and a pair of Mono power amplifiers.

The system was very enjoyable .  It displayed very high resolution and a produced sound with a wide soundstage and tight, punchy bass.
