Review: Burson Audio Timekeeper 3X GT by Soundnews

Burson Audio Timekeeper 3X GT disponible en AudiohumThe technological progress that Burson Audio has experienced in recent years in the field of power supplies has meant that their amplifiers do not need the transformer, the linear power supply and the enormous power limits that including them would imply. Also, removing those old technologies and their limitations has given their equipment superior sonic performance. As a result, and in terms of dimensions, weight and price, Burson Audio equipment outperforms any transformer-based amplifier.

The new Timekeeper 3X GT comes to fight head to head against its high-end competitors.

The digital magazine Soundnews has carried out an in-depth review of this magnificent all-in-one. The conclusions have been the following:

PROS:

- Rock solid build quality, unique casework that doubles as a giant heat-sink

- Smaller footprint to your usual dual mono amps

- Lightweight and small enough to be used in tiny stereo setups

- Good selection of analog inputs and outputs

- Plenty of power under their hoods, if they can drive a pair of KEF Reference 3, they can drive everything

- These are lacking any form of noise and distortion

- Detail-oriented and highly resolving

- Impressive transient response, these two were pushing and pulling dynamics like crazy

- Fairly neutral sounding, putting a small accent on the low-end delivery

- Technical sounding amps on all accounts

- Holographic and expansive sounding, one of the biggest stages I’ve experienced with my loudspeakers

- Accurate imaging with precise location of the notes

- Extended frequency response at both ends of the spectrum

- Tight and controlled, even when going overboard on the volume

- These are going with an organic music reproduction

- Could be your last power amplifiers

- A very good value

CONS:

- Active cooling might put off potential customers, although I don’t find the distracting at all

- Using them with Cool Stands is mandatory for a better heat dissipation
