Burmester 911 mk3

I still have my old audio space cdp (with a 24B/192KHz Dac). I'm holding on to see whether there'll be a 111 without the preamp section.
Just hooked up and omg!, I'm already hearing new things from my cds. I didn't know amplifiers could have such resolving power! Also, I didn't know what I was missing from my Extremas for the last 15 years! The musical presentation was so relaxed that it was like driving a Porsche 911 Turbo after having driven a Toyota Corolla for the last 15 years. Listening to the Extremas at low levels now is a joy compared to the lifeless and lethargic presentation of yore. At the very first note and fresh out of the oven, I knew I was in for a treat for many years to come. More to come when when the amps are more run in.
Congrats Thf99.
You've on hand one of the absolute best amps/preamp combination.
Enjoy your listening pleasure

Thanks, Rocco. I know I'll be able to squeeze a lot more performance from my system. The current set up is only temporary and is meant only to get a taste of what it is capable of.
Fantastic! Enjoy! And pls continue to update with more detailed observations when you get the time!
Congratulations!!
i cant wait for my 2nd 911 to arrive. i am waiting to explode into raptures myself. watch the space!!
cheers

Congratulations! IMHO, one of the signs of a truly great system is the ability to listen at low levels with all the joy and excitement of listening louder. Give the amps plenty of time to run in - I find that the 911's (and the 909's) improve slowly, and then there is a giant step up at about the 1,000 hour mark (YMMV depending on your music and listening level). With an industrial facility, I can run them loud at nights without any complaints

OMG! Gary I had no idea you were involved. Thank you very, very much. I sincerely hope you are feeling better.
Look like next week it's your turn Joe
4 dedicated 20A electrical lines and now this! Holy cow! Life is good.
I find the 911 to be a FANTASTIC performer at low levels, I have heard several others comment on this also.

The TAD CR-1's are fantastic at low levels as well so the combination will be dynamite.

I let Burmester use my factory as a staging warehouse for their shipments from Germany to USA. Since they are in Canada, this saves them a lot of grief.
My back's much better - thanks, Joe. I'll make sure not to lift the 911's

Hi Gary,
Maybe we can expedite shipping at my expense. UPS Blue or 3-day? Can we discuss?

Gary,
As you have experience using the Steve McCormack interocitor with the Burmester 911 mk3 I will ask your advice about a small detail. I have a tube balanced preamplfier (ARC REF40) that needs 6 meters of cable between it and the amplifiers. As far as I understand, in order to use it in a optimal way with the Burmester 911 mk3 I need to use the interocitor, uisng a XLR cable at the output of Ref 40 and an RCA cable at the Burmester side. Should I use a long XLR and the shortest possible RCA cable?
Nice to know you are feeling better from your back.
