About the 089
The Burmester 089 belt-drive CD player combines timeless design, innovative technology, and proven audio engineering. Inspired by analog turntables, its belt-drive system decouples the laser pickup from motor vibrations for precise data readout, delivering exceptional musicality and spaciousness. Featuring a top-loading mechanism with a smoothly sliding cover, chrome front panel, and vibration-absorbing carbon fiber feet, it encapsulates the belt-drive in a low-resonance chamber. It serves as a standalone CD player, DAC for external sources, and preamplifier with analog volume control in 60 steps. Hand-assembled in Berlin with balanced circuitry and X-Amp2 output modules from the Reference Line.
