Offered is „Burmester 088“ by Burmester as second-hand device from the category „Pre-Amplifier / Processor“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 903585303 ends on 13.11.2026 at 21:39 o'clock.
At €11,000, this looks like a strong deal: it sits below the €11,000 25th percentile and well under the €15,063 median, so the asking price is on the buyer-friendly side of the market. In plain terms, this is not an ambitious listing; it’s priced to move for someone who knows what they want.
The 088 is well regarded for its refined, muscular control and the kind of serious processor performance that still appeals to listeners building a high-end Burmester system. In good condition at this level, the upside is real: it’s the sort of piece that can anchor a very capable setup without paying median-market money, and it’s especially attractive if it’s complete and recently serviced.
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.
