Burmester 032, the best integrated amp?
 

I visited the pages of the forum but it seems to me that no one has ever talked about this amp 032
why?

Giovanni

I don't think anyone has one. I considered it briefly before I bought an 082. The circuits are quite similar.

But then if I was going to use this with speakers that needed the extra drive/current delivery from the 032, I would have preferred to buy a 956 and drive it with one of my DACs.

I think the 032 and 082 are quite close in character of sound.
If you need more power, take the 032. They appear from time to time second hand, more than the 082 it seems.

While being similar to each other I find that the 032 is warmer and controlled than to his younger brother.
Both are excellent machines, but in a direct comparison when I had to choose in 'buy my amp, I chose the 032

Funny that this thread starts now as I just bought a 032 on Audiogon...
I heard the 082 sometime ago but not the 032 (yet) so I'm afraid I won't be able to do any meaningful comparison.

Hello dca
Your 032 is an amazing machine, you did well to buy it, it sounds incredibly great, energetic, authoritative, delicate, refined, articolatissimo on low and medium-low.
Its sound is typical of a valvular, there is never no listening fatigue and then is extremely musical, I assure you that will always remain happy about this machine

Hello Giovanni,
Yes, I'm reasonably confident that it will sound great but there is always the big question of how well it will really work with my speakers, room etc.
I keep my finger crossed...

hello dca
I can guarantee that you are good hands with Burmester.
Do not worry about of the room, with speakers who you will use?

My good old (but still working fine) Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage.

That'll make a very fine system! :thumbsup:
