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?

@jsalerno277 Did not purchase DAC option. Love my current setup. Sorry can’t advise you.

Daft Punk? You should play some Merle Haggard on that fine machine. Not really a fair test though, since the Hag would sound good singing in a barrel.

One thing about Burmester- their stuff is art-meticulous workmanship.

@kerrybh someone on this post commented their build quality. Never seen anything like it. Studio quality. Phenomenal.

Why oh why do we question ourselves. Has to be one of our biggest weaknesses. I am so glad you came out on the good end which we all knew you would. Enjoy the heck out of it, I’m sure it’ll be one hell of a ride! 🏎️🏍️🚀
