About the Pi
The Brinkmann Audio Pi is a moving-coil phono cartridge developed together with Brinkmann tonearms and built for high-resolution, neutral playback. It uses a Micro-Ridge stylus on a boron cantilever, a copper voice coil, and a resonance-optimized three-piece aluminum body. The Pi was listed as discontinued by at least one dealer source, though a newer 2023 version is still shown by another retailer, so availability may vary by market.
