At €999, this Burmester 846 is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the typical used market where similar units often range from €750 to €1,140, with recent listings in Europe hitting €2,800. This price is clearly under the 25th percentile, making it a strong deal for a well-regarded vintage preamp from the late 1980s that exemplifies German high-end craftsmanship.
The Burmester 846 is celebrated for its solid-state precision, warm tonality, and transparent signal path, making it a timeless choice for analog and digital sources alike. Its value is further enhanced by the good condition, complete accessories (minus the original box), and the rarity of finding such a classic preamp at this price point, turning this listing into an excellent buying opportunity for any hi-fi enthusiast.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Burmester Audiosysteme traces its roots to Berlin, Germany, where engineer and musician Dieter Burmester founded the company in 1977, formally registering it as a GmbH the following year. Born from his frustration with a faulty preamplifier, Burmester repurposed medical electronics into the iconic 777 amplifier—named for its July 1977 debut—launching a legacy of precision engineering and unyielding quality standards. Handcrafted in Berlin ever since, the brand embodies Dieter's vision of technical innovation without compromise, even after his passing.
The company specializes in luxury high-end audio components, including preamplifiers, power amplifiers, integrated and multi-channel amps, CD players, D/A converters, phono preamps, surround processors, FM tuners, speakers, power conditioners, and accessories. Burmester also excels in turntables and cables, but its hallmark is fully DC-coupled designs and symmetrical balanced topology, first pioneered in the 838 phono preamp, delivering noise-free, distortion-minimal sound.
Positioned at the pinnacle of the high-end market, Burmester commands a global reputation for uncompromising musicality, timeless design, and bespoke craftsmanship, often rivaling or exceeding competitors in clarity and dynamics. Its prestige extends to automotive partnerships since 2002, powering elite systems in Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Panamera and Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz, and Ferrari models—proving hi-fi perfection transcends the home.
