Burson Audio PI-100 Integrated Stereo Amplifier
If you didn’t win the prizes for our first CAVE contest – and that means all of you except two – don’t despair. We are now announcing the next CAVE contest, and the prize is a Burson Audio PI-100 Integrated Stereo Amplifier. If you have not registered and/or completed your profile and joined your Discussion Groups on the CAVE, do it now.........AND join some discussions or start your own discussion... In these days where so much is happening in the A/V world, such as emerging 3D technology, there are plenty of topics to discuss. So, start a new discussion on a topic that interests you, and other CAVE members will join you in the discussion. Burson audio began over 10 years ago in Melbourne, Australia, as a DIY cooperative producing components for their members. About 5 years ago, they introduced their first commercial product. Most of their product line was aimed at the DIY market, with op-amp replacement modules made entirely of discrete components, all discrete voltage regulators, and a low jitter clock module upgrade....In 2007, Chris Groppi reviewed this amplifier and the Burson folks have made it available for a lucky CAVE member........keep an eye out for more from Burson Audio in the near future.......we will be reviewing one of their new products in the next month or so, the HD-100 headphone amp. Prize to be awarded on April 1......No Foolin! Read Dr. Chris Groppi's review of the PI-100 Integrated Stereo Amplifier Comments (2)
All discreet......
written by Tim , February 03, 2010 I've been eyeing this product for some time now and after reading the glowing review by Dr. Groppi on the the integrated and Srajan's rave review on the Burson headphone amp, my appetite is whetted, and then some. It seems to be a step backwards to design and assemble something in an all discreet fashion, what with the labour intensive manner in building it, but the payoff seems to be in the end product: superlative sound. I, for one, would like to get my hands on this beautiful, minimalist integrated.
Already own their Power booster-amp
written by Fred Kempkes , March 16, 2010 I wanted to try some transistor amps after having some poor results with an ASL 2A3 Tulip. The Burson amp on it's own, sounded much like my tube amp with better bass and more extended highs. I am researching battery power supplies and will try battery-power with this Burson also. I have found little information on the output devices and design in general. Since buying this amp, i have had some more experience with tube amps and battery power supplies. Tubes still give me the ultimate fidelity, and music that is both easy on the ears and true to the source. For the warm months of the year, the Burson on battery power just might do the trick. My tube gear generates about 150 watts, which heats up the house too much during hot season. The warm glow of tubes is just fine during the Winter though. Those of you that are willing to experiment, and have the skills would do well to try battery-power for all your electronics. Without all the AC radiating inside the enclosure, and doing away with pulsing DC in your power supply, can do wonders for the sound of your electronics gear. Write comment
