About the 035 Classic
The Burmester Audio 035 Classic is a high-end, hand-built Berlin preamplifier from Burmester’s Classic Line. It uses a fully balanced X-Amp signal path operating largely in Class A, with DC-coupled circuitry and a precision resistor-based R-2R volume attenuator. The unit provides three balanced XLR inputs and two unbalanced RCA inputs, plus balanced and unbalanced preamp outputs, a tape output, a surround/home-theater bypass input, rear-panel headphone output, remote control, and BurLink control. An optional plug-in module adds MM or MC phono capability, while an optional balanced CD module is also available. Burmester’s current website still lists the 035, so it should not be classified as no longer manufactured, although published specifications vary slightly by production revision and source.
