Bergmann Audio Magne Turntable system is a fully airbearing turntable with lineair tracking airbearing tonearm. The platter – centred by a spindel – floats on an air film. Magne turntable system is extremely simple to adjust and operate. The airsupply is equiped with condence- and dustfilters, and reservoirs to obtain dry, clean and smooth airflow. Further more the air supply is so noiseless, that it can be placed in the listening room. Air bearings are superior to traditional bearings, as airberings do not generate mechanical friction, and therefore no mechanical noise – thus the perfect starting point for the highest achievable analog sound. This is simply one of the very best turntables in the world today and yes a absolute steel at this price.

Airsupply

The air pump must deliver an even, clean and dry air flow.

The impulses from the pump are absorbed in an encapsulated reservoir. This results in an even airflow to the air bearing and tonearm. The air supply is mounted with a filter, which prevents dust particles in entering the system. This filter is replaceable when necessary. The pump is an oil free, long life unit, which do not require much maintenance.

Lineair tracking airbearing tonearm.

In the design of the tonearm, we stay to our idea of simplicity: As few parts and assemblies as possible, to avoid resonances. The armtube is traditional for Bergmann tonearms- well considered construction in few parts, made as a double tube construction, with damping in between the tubes. All parts are assembled by 2 component epoxy – simple and vibration free design to secure as pure and coherent reproduction. The tonearm wire is- as usual in Bergmann tonearms- in one length from cartridge clips to the connector. These minimalistic design features makes an optimum signal transmission, from the stylus tip to the phono stage, and leads to an unmatched transparent and spaciousness sound stage with the right timbre and musical information. Counterweight is decoupled from the arm- again to avoid any resonances.
In addition, the set-up of the tangential tonearm is entirely uncomplicated, and probably the easiest tonearm to set up.
