"We started with a blank sheet of paper and created something extraordinary. The Spyder is a bold design statement that establishes new standards of versatility while advancing Brinkmann’s commitment to ultimate sonic performance. This daring design accommodates up to FOUR 9”-12” tonearms and allows maximum flexibility of placement regardless of the number of ‘arms installed. Utilizing our heated bearing and bespoke Sinus motor—both Brinkmann exclusives—developed for our flagship Balance, the belt-drive Spyder has benefitted from years of painstaking materials research to yield unmatched musicality."
