Seller's Description

After more than 35 years of experience in the processing of finest audio signals, Burmester now crowns its series of successful phono preamplifiers with a turntable. Recognizable as a typical Burmester even from the very first glance, the 175 turntable makes use of characteristic design elements of the Reference Line. The integrated signal processing derived from the Burmester 100 phono pre-amplifier processes the fine phono signals at the highest level.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This US$44,995 asking price for a used Burmester 175 is ambitious, sitting well above the median US$38,882 and the 75th percentile US$41,938 from our database of three recent USD listings. It exceeds the top comparable by roughly US$3,000, so unless the unit is pristine original-owner condition with all accessories, it’s not a strong deal by the numbers.

Still, the 175 is a legendary all-in-one analog system—turntable, tonearm, MC cartridge, and phono stage in one chassis—praised for its silky MC sound, magnetic damping, and belt-drive stability. New prices hover around US$43,000–US$60,000, so a clean, low-wear used example at this ask could still offer meaningful upside if it includes the original cartridge and power supply. Verify condition and completeness before committing.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Burmester

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.
