Bergmann Magne

Greetings from AudioVision San Francisco, your Bay Area Bergmann and hifi dealer in our 21st year as a brick and mortar establishment!  All of our products come with full dealer support, and our demos, like the Magne we're selling here today, come with a full warranty from the date of sale to you!  We fully stand behind each and every product we sell, and if you want to ask us anything at all or get more information, please give us a ring at 415 614 1118 or write to us at [email protected]!

We have a very special offer here today in our Bergmann Magne turntable, and this one comes with the Linear tonearm as well (cartridge not included, but ask about options!).  With it's air-bearing tonearm and platter, the Bergmann is suitable whisper-quiet, unveiling never before heard detail and clarity in your favorite records!  Ours has very minimal usage, and has been kept in great condition.  With a massive platter and plinth, the Bergmann very effectively self-isolates.  The true heights of Danish design and engineering prowess!  

As always, we can provide more photos and information, but please - serious offers only!  We have priced this unit to sell.  And with this price, free shipping to the continental US!


From Bergmann:
Magne Turntable system

Magne means “strength”. In Nordic mythology Magne is the super baby, son of Thor, the God of Thunder, and when he is three days old he is so strong that he can lift a dead giant away from his father, who is pinned underneath. Magne is one of the few gods, who survive Ragnerok, the nordic armageddon, and rebuilds the new world.

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.

Linear 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 lenght 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 informations.
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.
