Is Burmester 232 worth the price?


Just bought a Burmester 232 integrated amplifier for a hefty price tag. Similar priced models like Accuphase E800 are available for half off on eBay.

 

Did I make a good decision or should I have gone with Accuphase or Esoteric? Pointers are greatly appreciated. Why is Burmester considered ultra high end?

Just setup my new 232. Someone…call the doctor. This is quite possibly the best product I’ve ever owned. Rocks my Focals!! Thanks to everyone on this forum.

 

Stupid question….how do I upload a photo?

Congratulations! I’m very pleased that you are happy with your purchase. It’s a beautiful piece of equipment. Might get even better with some break-in time, although to be honest with my 218 and then the 808 mark five preamp I didn’t notice much change as I got some hours on them. I tend to think that Break in is a much bigger thing with mechanical as opposed to electrical devices, but your experience may be different. At any rate, I hope you enjoy the music !
