Also got AudioQuest cable lifters to make sure there was no "weak link" in the chain.
Burmester 232 vs mono blocks in the same price range ange
Bought a Burmester 232 5 months back. Broken in by now. Absolutely love the signature sound. Just wondering if mono blocks in the same price range ($25K - $30K) would sound much better or the same. The Burmester was a blind purchase since I had it in my car and loved the sound. What is special about a $30K integrated amplifier in terms of audio circuitry etc?

@mramaswamy11 here is some eye candy to glaze over and contemplate. 🤔 or one of his lesser brothers would be a good choice too! |
Yes, the Burmester Signature monos are better. Much, much better. I have a 218 which I like very much. It has plenty of power and matched with the 808 pre produces a very natural, organic sound that pairs well with my speakers. But it is not in the same league as the 159s, which, by the way, will cost considerably more than 200k. Just for my preferences, I'd look at changing speakers in your system, but if you think it sounds like a $250k system then you have really accomplished a great deal in system building and I wouldn't change a thing. My cable lifters are rebar chairs. You can buy a bag of them for about $10 and they will lift your cables just as high as Audioquest. |
@kerrybh I think it’s time for an AB test. Lol. https://www.thecableco.com/catalog/product/view/id/13204/s/sort-lift-set-of-2/category/115/ Just googled rebar chairs, what a genius idea! |
@kerrybh did you buy your 218s used? Think I will stick with my 232 since there's no real reason to "upgrade". Will look into rebar chairs for my bedroom system |
