I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and this Burmester 035 Solid State Preamplifier is being listed as a consignment sale on behalf of my client for whom I am selling his entire system. He is the sole owner and purchased this unit brand new in 2025. It is in near mint condition and perfect working order.

It comes with factory remote and owner’s manual. The unit will ship in its original box.

The Burmester 035 punches well above its price point. It inherits the same X-Amp topology from Burmester’s reference preamps, and you can hear it. It’s warm without being slow, detailed without being clinical, and it just gets out of the way of the music. The build quality is unmistakably Burmester – handmade in Berlin with that iconic chrome face that looks as good in person as it does in photos.

Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing includes free insured shipping across the CONUS. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I can only accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check, but this also gives you the opportunity to attain this at my lowest possible price.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.

More about the unit:
The Burmester 035 is a pure Class A preamplifier that distills the sonic DNA of Burmester’s legendary 011 and 808MK5 reference preamplifiers into the company’s Classic Line, bringing Berlin’s finest engineering within closer reach without a single compromise in signal integrity. Built around Burmester’s proprietary X-Amp amplification stages operating in fully balanced, completely DC-coupled Class A topology, the 035 eliminates distortion-inducing capacitors from the signal path entirely. Volume control is handled by a precision passive R-2R resistor network with gold-plated reed relays across 60 logarithmic steps — an approach that achieves absolute channel synchronism at every level, something no conventional potentiometer can match. With three balanced XLR and two unbalanced inputs, an optional phono stage supporting both MM and MC cartridges, and seamless home theater integration via its surround loop, the 035 is as flexible as it is sonically pure.

Every unit is handcrafted and assembled at Burmester’s Berlin factory, where each component undergoes the same rigorous selection and quality control process applied to their Reference Line. More than 300 computer-assisted measurements are performed before and after a seven-day burn-in period, and no unit ships without passing a final listening evaluation by Burmester’s own team. The result is unmistakable — that signature brushed aluminum enclosure with a flawlessly chrome-plated front panel that has become synonymous with Burmester’s commitment to timelessness, where every control feels weighted with intention and every surface communicates permanence.
