Offered is „217“ by Burmester as exhibit from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3102610109 ends on 08.11.2026 at 16:25 o'clock.
This is a seller’s market at the top end of the used Burmester category, but this asking price still lands in the ambitious zone rather than bargain territory. At €17,900, it sits well above the €13,041 75th percentile for recent comparable listings, so it’s priced for a premium example, not an easy win.
That said, Burmester gear earns its keep with build quality, elegant industrial design, and a presentation that tends to be refined, spacious, and very controlled. If the condition is genuinely good and the unit is complete, the value case comes down to provenance, cosmetics, and how quickly these appear in your market. At this price, a buyer should want clear evidence of careful ownership and, ideally, documentation or accessories that make the premium feel justified.
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.
