    Classification of some top SS amps (brands)

    Truly i don't think so based on my humble experience to demo and listen several amps. The magic word to fullfill is "the true sinergy of system's approach" between all components (electric and acoustic). If you're referring to my set-up there are 13 months of true acoustic and...

    Classification of some top SS amps (brands)

    All at reference level assuming that loudspeakers system, source, preamp, cables, treatment of power grid and whole acoustic concern are in order.

    Classification of some top SS amps (brands)

    Hi, thanks for you comment. At my ears the best way to describe the 911 mk 3 (and for that matter all the Burmester electronics I’ve heard and currently own) is complete neutrality and complete lack of grain. The pure essence of musicality.

    Burmester 909 mk5 vs Burmester 911 mk3

    Hi. Sorry for the late reply. I've owned the fantastic B80's for several years. I've loved and still love it. I made a direct A/B comparison and the B100's has NOT any common parameter with B80's. The way to express music of B100's is shocking natural and while you listen it the only think...

    Burmester 909 mk5 vs Burmester 911 mk3

    Hi. I've different experiences in the above matter. The 911 Mk3 monos and/or 909 Mk5 monos plugged into 948's had better sound in all regards compare direct plug to the wall. For my experience, nothing should be connected directed to the wall, because the voltage is always contaminated by...

    Burmester 909 mk5 vs Burmester 911 mk3

    Hi. The B100's is not comparable to the B80 Mk2. The B80's is a great performer, but very far to the B100's in all regards. The B100 is the electro-acoustic pinnacle of the late Dieter Burmester. It has a way of delivering music in a natural linear way, perfect coherency and with a timbre...

    Burmester 909 mk5 vs Burmester 911 mk3

    911 Mk3 is very much better than 956 Mk2 monos or stereo version. To achieve the best sound from any Burmester Power Amp, I recommend to use a Burmester preamp. With 911 Mk3 the best preamp is 808 Mk5. Other excellent preamps are the 077's and 088's.

    Hi Dhruv, the effect of 948's is outstanding and It will surely drop in noise too.

    Burmester 909 mk5 vs Burmester 911 mk3

    Hello Dhruv. Thanks to quote me. The 948's is a superb unit and It will allow your system to perform better in all regards. About cables, power cords, interconnect and speakers, I use Nordost Valhalla (1 or 2) and It is the absolute best match experienced with Burmester gears. p.s.: You will...

    Best Dedicated Listening Room You've Ever Heard?

    As I said before the only think you can see from the photo posted is the acoustic treatment only. But behind it there is a specific soundproof designed/made by RPG Europe too. Similar designed project (all the walls are floating and totally indipendent) is not easy to find due to the specific...

    Best Dedicated Listening Room You've Ever Heard?

    Thanks for you comment. Agreed with the late Harry Pearson. I know well those concert halls perfectly because I've been there several times. For my experience I'd like to add in that group also the Philharmonie de Paris (France), Boston Symphony Hall, the Konzerthaus of Berlin (Germany) and the...

    Best Dedicated Listening Room You've Ever Heard?

    In my experience, the room, along the correct soundproofing treatment and power grid, is the most important component of any hiend system.

    Best Dedicated Listening Room You've Ever Heard?

    Thanks for your comment. The room was originally in a completely different (rectangular) shape and has now been so modeled in the masonry to obtain this specific result, very similar in acoustic performance to Musikverein Wien Concert Hall, but here have been applied more advanced and...

    Best Dedicated Listening Room You've Ever Heard?

    The floor in my room is a totally floating acoustic structure with several thick layers (total thickness is 5.4 cm) of harmonious birch wood and natural oak. Each layer is completely isolated from the other with the use of a specific acoustic damping compound designed for use between 2 sheets...
