Burmester 077 Reference Preamplifier

The 077 self-adjusting phono stage can automatically compensate for any channel imbalances of pickup systems. The result is a more precise and extended soundstage. Additional attractions of this model are its X-Amp2 amplification stages and its control via the BurLink technology. Operating the 077 is intuitive and does not distract from a relaxed listening experience. Its visual appearance bespeaks the typical Burmester design language.
Due to its module slot for one of four optional modules, the 077 is prepared for all eventualities. The integrated surround thruput allows the perfect integration into home theatre systems.
