Description:

Designed specifically for Brinkmann turntables, the RöNt III power supply is a very special product as it constitutes the introduction to the exclusive “Rectifier Tube Simulator” technology, which allows to increase both performance and reliability. long-term. Like all Brinkmann products, the RöNt is an evolutionary design that has been refined during its more than 25 years of market presence. Released in 1995, the original RöNt was the result of experimentation with vacuum valves at each point of the musical signal path by Helmut Brinkman, which resulted in the discovery that the vacuum in rectifier valves not only isolates its cathode plates but also the feed line of the attack circuitry, thereby enhancing the sound of Brinkmann turntables in terms of clarity, transparency and dimensionality. With the passage of time, the supply of high-quality rectifier valves was seriously compromised, the solution being the innovative “Rectifier Tube Simulator”, created by Helmunt Brinkmann and christened “BZ34” in honor of the 5AR4 / GZ34 used in the RöNt II. The starting point for the development of the BZ34 was the Mullard GZ34 NOS (New, Old Stock) valve used in the RöNt, very rare and expensive and therefore not very suitable for use in a component intended for series production. What the BZ34 does is precisely emulate, using extremely complex circuitry, the function and sound of the aforementioned Mullard GZ34 NOS while avoiding its weak points, the result being the maintenance of sound performance for decades.
