Burmester 218.....


I am glad to see Burmester is being talked about on these forums, they are superb gear in my opinion.

if you haven't had the chance to hear the 218 do yourself a favor and take a listen, I started my Burmester journey with a 956mk2, upgraded to a 911mk3, upgraded to the 216 and have now settled on the 218

going up a level with each amp they all got better, more dynamics, deeper/wider soundstage better control, you name it, drastically better.  the speed and dynamics of the 218 is as good as I have heard in quite some time

just wanted to share some of my journey and joy of owning Burmester, highly recommend.

@ckr1969 I missed out on all the exciting conversation. I am a proud owner of multiple Burmester equipment in the last few months. The 088 preamp, 032 integrated, preamp 035 and the 956 mk11 now on my rack. I run all the three syatem at the same time using the DAC on the 088 and fill the room with just beautiful sound. I have add the T+A PA3100HV and the Luxman C900U in the past. But love the Burmester sound and switched those out. I am so glad to have a Burmester dealer in the PNW.

@rman9 How would you describe the difference between 035 and 088? Is it significant? At the moment I use 089 player direct into 956mk2, but I am looking for preamp. Previously owned 011, thinking to get it back again, as 088 are still quite pricy. Wondering if 035 would be sufficient upgrade over 089 going direct? Also I have tried 935 (the predecessor of 035) and the 089 direct was clearly better solution to my ears.
