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?

Dude, yesterday you couldn’t afford a new DAC but today you spent $4K on one but only if they would ship it today. Then you ask for advice on speaker cables and 5 minutes later say never mind I bought some Wireworld’s.

let me save everyone here sometime time and energy; You have an awesome system and are making perfect choices. 

The only advice I can give you is no matter how good your system is, it will suck when anyone else hears it on a Facebook video.

btw what kind of car do you drive? Again?

The OP is a man of action, that's for sure, but he's buying good stuff. I hope he enjoys his system. He also got some really sound (pun) advice from @soix and others which I hope he found useful. This forum is at its best when that happens.

@macg19 what makes you think I could mot afford a new DAC. I drive a new Mercedes and am the super happy owner of a new Burnester. Sarcasm?

Like the previous guy said, I am a man of action although I am a ttle impulsive. But all's well that ends well. If you could hear my setup now, you would be impressed. AnI know a Facebook video won't do the sound justice but it's just my way of thanking all the wonderful people on this forum thanks. Amen!

The comment about affording a new DAC was based on your early comment about not wanting to spend too much money on your digital source.

Congrats on being the owner of a new Mercedes and 2 Burmester sound systems.

So…which one sounds best?

 

@madhusudan_ramaswamy yes the 232 is worth the money, the dac module is very nice as well and yes it beats the accuphase e800, chk you messages
