<\/p>\nBrinkmann Audio has\u00a0introduced the third generation of the\u00a0R\u00f6Nt III\u00a0tube power supply\u00a0for <\/u>turntables.\u00a0The first version of the power supply was released back in 1995. In 2007,\u00a0Brinkmann\u00a0began using bespoke\u00a0Sinus\u00a0engines in their turntables\u00a0, which required more power to run than previously used by\u00a0Pabst\u00a0.<\/p>\n
This is how the second generation\u00a0R\u00f6Nt II was born\u00a0with a class A asymmetric circuit. Together with a pair of high-current\u00a0PL36\u00a0pentodes, a\u00a0full-wave\u00a05AR4 \/ GZ34\u00a0rectifier was\u00a0operated in it\u00a0.\u00a0But after a while, the supply of these NOS lamps began to run out.<\/p>\n
To solve the problem,\u00a0Helmut Brinkmann\u00a0developed a\u00a0“rectifier tube emulator”<\/i>\u00a0– an electronic module with a standard\u00a05AR4 \/ GZ34\u00a0lamp\u00a0base\u00a0.\u00a0In honor of the\u00a0NOS\u00a0Mullard GZ34 lamp\u00a0, which is most suitable for\u00a0R\u00f6Nt operation\u00a0, but too rare today, the product was named\u00a0BZ34\u00a0.\u00a0According to the manufacturer, the\u00a0BZ34\u00a0exactly repeats all the parameters of the\u00a0GZ34 NOS Mullard\u00a0lamp\u00a0, but is devoid of its drawbacks – first of all, it is not subject to wear and tear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to information from the manufacturer, apart from the debut of the\u00a0BZ34\u00a0,\u00a0there are other differences\u00a0in the third generation of the\u00a0R\u00f6Nt III\u00a0power supply\u00a0.<\/p>\n
For example, the high-voltage circuit has been improved.\u00a0Brinkmann Audio\u00a0guarantees full\u00a0R\u00f6Nt III\u00a0compatibility\u00a0with all\u00a0Brinkmann\u00a0turntable models\u00a0.<\/p>\n
The MSRP for the new PSU has yet to be announced, so we have to rely on the price of the second generation PSU,
\nwhich is\u00a0\u00a3 2,750\u00a0in the UK\u00a0.<\/p>\n
