Offered is „897 + 2 x 850“ by Burmester as second-hand device from the category „Pre- / Poweramp Combination“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1209732410 ends on 25.11.2026 at 12:45 o'clock.
€4,500 is ambitious for this one; it sits well above the recent used cluster, which centers around €2,243, with the upper quartile at €3,371. That puts this listing roughly €1,100 over the 75th percentile, so it needs something special to justify the ask.
That said, the 897 is a serious preamp with real pedigree: clean, full-scale control, excellent build, and the kind of refinement that still makes sense in a high-end analog system. If it’s truly good condition, includes the phono module and original accessories, and the provenance is strong, it can still be a worthwhile buy — just not an obvious bargain at this price.
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.
