I have had 911 in my system for the past 3 months. After comparing it back and forth with my dart, I still preferred the dart. I found the dart to be more musicly engaging, more immediate, with more palpable midrange.
911 had more resolution and bass slam, but was rather uninvolving. $12k Spectral DMA-260 I had on loan was cooler still, but overall, I preferred it to 911 as it offered more speed and overall transparency. All listening done with my Puccini / Sasha setup. You may have better resoults with a dedicated Burmester pre (911 has an unussually high gain, and unussually low input impedance) but at least the playing fireld was levelled for all 3 amps. |

I don't know of a single Burmester dealer in Los Angeles (where I'm from). I'd love to hear some of their equipment.

Thanks Elberoth,
Thanks for posting your findings. I'll have to ask you more about the gain and input impedance issues. I still have trouble understanding some of nuances of matching components. I appreciate it very much. Joe |

joeinid - sorry, I missed your question.
911 has unussually low input impedance @ 10kOhm unbalanced and 2.8kOhm balanced (industry standard is anything between 47kOhm and 100kOhm), which makes preamp choice much more limited. As you are using Burmester preamp, you have nothing to worry about though. |

I am using an 077 w/ ext. PS and obviously the combo works very well. I did not like it so much with my Conrad Johnson ET5 although the ET5 worked very well with McIntosh MC601's. Thanks. |

Just saw your post (I do not spend as much time here as I would like) and the 911 sounds great with the Sasha's, WITH a Burmester pre...

FWIW, Burmester prices have just gone up too.
