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?

@kerrybh my Luxman 509z is also fantastic but the 232 build is next level

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! 🏎️🏍️🚀

I agree with you about Luxman- really well made stuff. What DAC are you using?
