The Danish-designed Bergmann Modi turntable paired with the Thor linear-tracking tonearm has received strong acclaim in a detailed review by TONE Publications, highlighting the combo’s exceptional analog performance, elegant design, and intuitive setup.

According to the review, the Bergmann Modi’s air-bearing platter and the Thor tonearm’s linear tracking deliver an analog listening experience notable for its clarity, low distortion, and musical engagement. Reviewers describe the system’s playback as close to what one might hear on a master tape, with very low wow and flutter, effortless speed stability, and a transparent presentation across a wide range of music styles.

The design of the Modi table and Thor arm earned particular praise for marrying form with function: the minimalist, museum-like aesthetic complements its technical sophistication, while setup remains surprisingly straightforward even for those with modest turntable experience. The Thor tonearm requires only basic adjustments before spinning records, and the included silent air-pump power supply and comprehensive setup materials help streamline the process. (TONE)
Musically, the review highlights how the combination brings increased resolution and dynamic expression to familiar recordings—drums hit with authority, string textures gain depth, and vocals appear more natural and engaging—without introducing mechanical noise. Reviewers noted that the system excels whether playing classical, rock, or contemporary genres, delivering both microdetail and rhythmic drive. (TONE)
At a suggested price of approximately $18,100 for turntable and tonearm together, TONE’s review positions the Bergmann Modi/Thor combo as a compelling contender in the high-end analog market for listeners seeking reference-level performance with practical ease of use. (TONE)
