and here's the last thing I'm going to say about this topic any reviewer that says amplifier sound great when there's a buzzing going on in the amplifiers has lost all credibility Stereophile has become a joke.
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.

grislybutter, how rude I am? lol what did I say to CKR 1969 that was rude I just told him what I heard and the differences, how is that rude? I've been at this for 40 years and my ears are extremely good I used to play French horn in the Vancouver symphony orchestra so my ears are very attuned to know what instruments sound like and voices sound like in real life unfortunately most audiophiles don't and I also have the ability to do something that many people can't I can go listen to one system in one store and then go and listen to another system in another store and make the comparison in my head and hear the differences not too many people have that ability and I'm thankful to God that I can, and my system is quite expensive but it's taken me 40 years to get here. |
it can’t. However, a properly working unit may sound really good. Don’t know how it stands up to the newest SimAudio. For 50 large I would pick up a used Boulder 2160 though. |
@zuesman apparently you aren't capable. But don't worry your extraterrestrial listening abilities make up for it |
