OUR BRANDS

Prior to founding Brinkmann, Helmut had been partners in Audiolabor, which he sold in 1984. Helmut Brinkmann had developed all of the products for Audiolabor, including a highly-regarded turntable named “Konstant.” Fans of the brand asked him to continue developing products, which had a cult following. When he sold Audiolabor, Helmut had been working on a statement turntable and started Brinkmann to complete the design. That turntable was the legendary Balance, which was the first product marketed by Brinkmann when the company was founded in 1985. It has remained in continuous Series Production ever since!

For 35 years, all Brinkmann products have manifested the vision of a single designer. These products are original, authentic and never beholden to trends or fashion. Brinkmann is unique in that, unlike most components which have a production life of a few years, Brinkmann products tend to stay current for decades. Our electronics, for example, have been manufactured for 15 years or longer, while the Balance is now 35 years young! Brinkmann makes ongoing improvements to all of its products and most—if not all—of these updates can be incorporated into older production, keeping them at the state-of-the-art. All Brinkmann products are handmade in Germany and last a lifetime.

The “Brinkmann Sound” which is liquid, cohesive, detailed and highly dynamic has captured our customers’ imagination for 35 years. The authentic sound The “Brinkmann DNA” combines this immediately recognizable musical quality with gorgeous aesthetics and operational simplicity. Combine these strengths with incredible longevity and excellent service and you can see why Brinkmann has so many return customers.

In an age where many retailers are forsaking brick-and-mortar showrooms, HiFi Buys proves that a store that delivers a fantastic customer experience won’t just survive but will actually thrive in good times as well as bad.
