Burmester Test Cd

[Suanne Forte]

Inthe development and manufacturing process, only the best quality components are selected to meet our exacting tolerances. In addition, several days of test runs as well as further intensive quality controls culminating in detailed final listening tests under real conditions are added. Every single assembly receives a 100% inspection according to Burmester quality standards before installation. This elaborate manufacturing process ensures that in the end the customer receives a product that is exceptional in every respect.

The Reference Line CD-Player 069 is a cutting edge technology. Combined with a proprietary belt-drive system, it provides a high-grade musical experience. As a result, the CD data translates the smallest musical detail and other complex acoustic structures.

The 111 Musiccenter is an audiophile masterpiece that sets a new standard for digital music reproduction. The technology combines a music server, CD player, CD ripper, a DAC, and an analog preamplifier for a groundbreaking variety of functions.

Burmester has developed the top-quality Power Conditioner for a high-end musical experience. The 948 surpasses high-frequency noise through premium filters and it stands top of the line in the world of high end music systems.

A grand performance does not compromise. The Burmester Signature Line is known to technically reproduce the absolute best in sound quality. The BC350 Loudspeaker shows once again, how this is made possible.

The Phono Preamplifier 100 combines the best features for the perfect analogue sound. It was designed to provide record lovers the best possible sound quality and the digital preservation of their analogue collections.

In 2007, for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the 777 preamplifier, Burmester introduced another preamplifier: the 077. Designed in the elegant tradition of Burmester, the 077 provides exquisite sound and a relaxed listening experience.

Now in its fifth generation, our internationally acclaimed 808 preamplifier is still unrivaled in terms of sound quality and uniqueness of features. This preamplifier has now been in production for 30+ years with an excellent reputation in highly regarded audio magazines.

Over recent years an increasing number of manufacturers at all price levels have taken to include digital inputs onto their new CD players. This makes perfect sense given that every CD player already has built-in digital-to-analogue converter circuitry.

There are four digital inputs on our MMI equipped review sample: 24-bit/192kHz USB, optical and coax alongside Bluetooth. A balanced XLR analogue input makes the 089 more versatile in a system context, particularly if the player is configured as a preamp too. There are both balanced and single-ended analogue outputs alongside a single-ended record out.

We used the 089 both with and without an external preamp. There are certainly (slight) gains in outright transparency and resolution when used directly into our Gamut power amplifier, but also losses in terms of drive and authority. We decided to keep our reference D3i preamp in the system for the bulk of the test sessions.

The MMI module also adds USB capability. There are two settings here: the Class 1 option is limited to 24-bit/96kHz input signals but should work with a wider range of sources; Class 2 takes that upper resolution limit to 24-bit/192kHz, but will require specific software drivers for non-Apple computers.

The American amp sounded like a really good hi-fi, and it was more powerful, but the Burmester sounded more musical. It had more soul; the music was simply more alive and realistic sounding over the Burmester.

Each assembled 032 is run through a 300-point computer test regime. The amplifier is then played for a solid week and put through the complete 300-point testing process again. The first and second test results must be identical before the amp moves on to final testing. Each Burmester component must also pass a rigorous listening test before it can leave the factory.

Pairs of drivers are computer matched to exceedingly tight tolerances (0.5 dB over 6 points of their rated frequency response). Measurements for each completed speaker are maintained at the factory, so if a driver ever needs to be replaced, Burmester can supply an exact duplicate.

In a potent driving machine like the Taycan, slightly higher demands are placed on the sound system than ordinary passenger cars. Greater speed characteristics simply mean that the system must have a little more power to break through and be heard! Fortunately, Porsche seems to have understood this, because the Taycan can be equipped with two fairly potent sound systems, which have plenty of decibels at their disposal.

For the 4S version, it is possible to settle for a standard, unmarked system (Sound Package Plus with 10 speakers and a total of 150W). According to the Norwegian Porsche importer, however, the vast majority of customers choose an upgraded variant. It should only be missing in a premium car!

If you put another 4300 on the table, you can take the step up to the high-end option from Burmester. The German high-end producer, founded by musician and engineer Dieter Burmester in 1977, is a name that should ring familiar to discerning hi-fi enthusiasts.

Burmester specializes in complete music systems in the elite class, and is known for its massive amplifiers and speakers for home use. In recent times, they have also taken the step into the world of car sound: They debuted with the super sports car Bugatti Veyron, and have later become a regular supplier to Mercedes and Porsche.

An electric car like the Taycan is basically completely silent. However, Porsche has added the option of artificial engine sound both inside and out (Porsche Electric Sport Sound). The outside part warns pedestrians, while the inside part is more about keeping the driver sharp.

We in the LB Techreviews editorial staff are not motoring journalists per se, so we must be careful about stating how Taycan performs purely in terms of car technology. But it is definitely a driving machine!

There is also nothing to complain about the driving characteristics: Porsche has succeeded in making the roughly 2.3-tonne vehicle feel like a real sports car. Although we did not come close to testing the G-forces on busy Norwegian roads, it seems to have an extreme grip during normal driving.

The Taycan cockpit feels compact, and you sit low and tightly wrapped in the leather-covered bucket seats. However, the driving environment in Taycan offers a steep learning curve: Although we received a crash course from an experienced Porsche product specialist, it took some time to become familiar with all the features!

Smartphone users can enjoy a total of 4 (2 front and 2 rear) USB-C connectors in the passenger compartment. Here you can both charge your mobile and use it as a music source. Apple CarPlay is also supported.

Taycan has 3 full touch screens to deal with (an extra for the front passenger as an option) and a whole lot of buttons. It can feel a bit chaotic compared to Tesla, where everything is gathered on one screen. But this is something you get used to after a while behind the wheel.

The Taycan is experienced as a very solid and well-knit car. Even at highway speeds, there is hardly a hint of vibration. Porsche has also done a thorough job of shielding the cabin from wind noise. Just like with the Audi e-tron, it provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
