Description

Gone are my beloved Krell HRC HR and KSA 300s pre and power amps I have had since 1997.  I had them recapped twice.  I waited a little too long and one of the pieces had some minor DC leak.  I was to have them serviced and was given a preowned Burmester 032 as a service loaner.  Once installed I could not give it up.  There are improvements in all areas.  Most notable is gone I’d the typical black and romantic Krell background replaced by a background I can only explain as nothingness.  This gives more secondary harmonics and decay, clarity and detail. Hall ambience and depth is more palpable.  Truly a three dimensional image with air around the performers.  Much better detail, including bass detail and control.  Leading edge and transients are sharp but natural.  Best cymbal reproduction I have heard.  Timbre spot on.  Truly an amazing integrated.  Yes I am down a lot of $$$ but my ears and mind are in bliss.

Congrats on the Burmester purchase! It matches well with Vivid Audio.  Burmester’s CD players are also exquisite. One of the best.
