    Problem with Burmester 911 in dual mono

    Yes I did. In fact after reading your thread about the Aries Cerat Kassandra ref 2, I contacted the Belgian distributor in Leuven and I hope to be a able to go there this week for auditioning. Unfortunately I don't expect him to have Sonus Fabers and I have no intention to rent a van and take my...

    Problem with Burmester 911 in dual mono

    I didn't try the 077 (although the 111 is supposed to have an onboard 077, but didn't really excel at imaging, or any other aspect for that matter). It's also the first time I hear this from someone after having read multiple online discussions about the 077 (with PS) vs the 808. Many claim they...

    Problem with Burmester 911 in dual mono

    Hi Everybody, Today I finally was able to do some testing regarding my not so good sounding set of Burmester 111 with 2 Burmester 911mk3 in bridged mono. A dealer in Belgium who also sells Burmester was so kind to let me bring over my set for testing. First we set up my set as it is, so the 111...

    T+A PDP 3000 HV or MP 3100 HV?

    As I said before (in another thread I posted on this forum), I contacted the BM dealer (and the Burmester company) multiple times. The dealer has cancelled every appointment to come over he made so far and Burmester replied to my problem with ; according to our technicians, it should work...

    T+A PDP 3000 HV or MP 3100 HV?

    Thank you, it confirms the findings of the dealer I did the auditioning, and he's a honest guy (as far as I can tell ;-) ). Do you have the SD 3100 HV on stock already btw? It shoud be the new reference DAC/Streamer. About 10000 more expensive. But if I leave CD/SACD behind anyway , I might...

    T+A PDP 3000 HV or MP 3100 HV?

    Hi Parker, thank you for your reply. Indeed I also tend to believe that the PDP is a superior Disc Player, especially since the mechanism seems to have more in common with the reference T+A stand alone Player (PDT 3100 HV) then the MP 3100. A German review of the MP 3100 HV also mentioned that...

    T+A PDP 3000 HV or MP 3100 HV?

    The dealer who sold me the Burmester is not the same guy as the T+A dealer. About the former one, I'm for sure not done with him yet ;-)

    T+A PDP 3000 HV or MP 3100 HV?

    Hi Kostas, You are right that T+A is not very known here. Even I was unfamiliar with the brand until a week ago. And I also think you are right that I should chose the object that serves my current needs the best considering my budget and take sonic differences for granted as they probably...

    T+A PDP 3000 HV or MP 3100 HV?

    Hi Kostas, I heard the PDP 3000 HV too yesterday and was very impressed! So I made my choice (in brand/range) already. My doubt/confusion however was about getting the PDP 3000 HV or the newer MP 3100 HV which seems to offer the same functionality and quality but with added features as a...

    T+A PDP 3000 HV or MP 3100 HV?

    Hi, After my first thread on my problem with my Burmester 111 with dual mono 911 config (which hasn't been solved yet, The dealer cancelled for the third time to visit me and help me investigate the problem or experimen with alternative devices like for example the stand alone 077 or 808) I've...

    Problem with Burmester 911 in dual mono

    I've already contacted Burmester, and their reply was that there should be no problem. I know the 911's should work properly in dual mono with both B&W's ,Sonus Faber or any other speaker that cn handle the load. I'm still convinced that it's the built in 077 preamp of the 111 that is causing...

    Problem with Burmester 911 in dual mono

    Why? (I haven't heard neither of them, but I''m curious about your opinion). All I read so far is that many people love the 808 bc it sounds 'neutral'. Now I don't exactly know what they mean by that or if that's something I want. I remember experimenting with my former setup (061 + 035 + 911...

    Problem with Burmester 911 in dual mono

    Thank you all for the replies. Instead of waiting for my dealer to show up (he mailed me today that he will come over with a 077 at the end of the week), I found a good deal on Ebay for a pair of used Sonus Faber Stradivari. Although they are huge, I love the looks of them and read many good...

    Problem with Burmester 911 in dual mono

    Ok, I will try this (I hope there are This should only be an issue when you go from a normal polarity device to a Burmester or other device with inverted polarity I think. If u go from inverted to inverted like in this case , it shouldn't be a problem. The amps are fine, they both work like a...
