Hi!
Thanks all :)
I like dynamic open detailed sound, but if its too lean it will be impossible to listen to in the long run. As many of the records I receive are of variable quality, its important the the equipment play as natural as possible. Ofcourse natural sound could be on the analytical side, but it can also be on the more musical side (whatever that mean). You have to exuse my english, I am a norwegian you know :)
I have seen through many years of audio, that many audiophile play the same albums all over again. And if you for instance bring with you a NIN or a John Martyn record, the reproduction fall apart instantly.
The cd player 001 from Burmester tended to lean toward the warmer side, but the newer combine ying and yang very good. The 001 is a legend, especially combined with 011 preamp. Then the combination will be more natural, but still friendly toward your ear with all kind of music. The newer 061 is more dynamic and a little leaner. And lower price too! The Burmester 032 amp is also a little more leaner than the 001 cd player since its a newer design. As Absolute Sound stated, its very hard to describe the sound of the latest versions of Burmester. Its like a wire with amplification.
Have anyone of testet Aesthetix or Naim phone amps?
Cheeers, Toffen
