Burson Audio, based in Melbourne, Australia, has been in operation for nearly a quarter of a century. Burson prides itself on “quality build, thoughtful circuit design, value for money and elegant, engaging sound.”

Burson’s design philosophy is simple: if the equipment is designed well and transparent enough — and it is — then the pace, rhythm, timing dynamics and tonality becomes a natural expression of the music. Burson feels this can never be achieved with standard circuit building blocks like IC chip op-amps, IC regulators, or even standard transformers. Instead they research and develop customized discrete circuits specifically to suit their applications. The Burson discrete opamps are considered around the world as the gold standard of audio opamps. They are widely adopted and universally loved by audio enthusiasts, recording studios and manufacturers alike.
