This is very generous, Jay. Thanks for giving us this oportunity. I’ve been a subscriber since your early videos. It is an incredible journey you take us on. I’ve learnt a lot, and it looks like you are having so much fun exploring so much amazing gear. Cheers!

[@santosangel143]

Looking foward to the Samsung Event. That's one awesome amplifier.

[@SuperDaddyruss]

Gotta love life hacks hope. We get some good ones as well as maybe a good deal on the new neo led

[@AwesomeSauceShow]

You are the first one of the Hi-FI KZbin community that gives something back to! Thank you for being awesome!

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

The Burson is all well and good, but when are we going to get a dedicated video about those beautiful Sonus Faber Amator? 😁

[@jko1059]

Really like the the comparison to the other integrated amp. Always very helpful when you compare, thanks!

[@AdamDuffArt]

From one KZbinr to another - a huge thank you for your high-quality content Jay, one of my go-to sources for audio wisdom :) Oh edit: don’t know if I have to sign up with Samsung to join the giveaway, but the sign-up form doesn’t seem to accept postal codes that are more than 5 letters (I’m in Canada, hence 6 digits)

[@Jayiyagi]

Hey Adam. If you read the instructions; you don't have to sign up to enter. Cheers !

[@AdamDuffArt]

@@Jayiyagi awesome, a big thank you :)

[@Jayiyagi]

@@AdamDuffArt btw Adam. I watched your videos and love your channel well before you commented here. My girlfriend is a long time WOW player and an aspiring digital artist

[@AdamDuffArt]

@@Jayiyagi oh get out! Well tell your girlfriend that I said hi! That’s so awesome:)

[@phillipmorris9847]

Thanx j, looking forward to the bundle offers, just don't see those much anymore.

[@DuckButterInc]

Hey everyone! I have a H-190 and I can say with certainty it’s amazing!! Best solid state integrated I’ve ever heard but what I love about it the most is the quality of life improvements such as basically having it be a one stop shop. Amazing streamer/Dac in one. Amazing remote control too. Only thing I would add is, let’s spend just as much time trying to find new music as we do researching gear! Happy listening.

[@briancody8663]

I agree and love pointing that out lol

[@jonathansmoore]

Appreciate the chance to win all of this great gear. Happy to comment.!

[@xsslxssl]

Burson makes rather intriguing products. The Op-Amp swaps are brilliant.

[@xsslxssl]

I visited the Burson website and I like their particular design philosophy.

[@dougg8052]

Thanks jay for all of your great reviews. I am just starting my audiophile journey and they have been very helpful.

[@ranelime]

So I'm gonna get the Zpad3 deal on September 20th, and get a pad for only $100. Sweat deal Samsung! I entered the Samsung link because of the Giveaway. But I was quite surprised. It's actually pretty interesting. Seems that Samsung is leading a Holistic approach to integrate into the everyday things. As a designer, I really appreciate that. It's less about products and more about lifestyle. We are getting closer to a time where organization create an entire experience through their product philosophy. In many ways, this approach is is a glimpse to the future. Where companies create identity, agenda, one that you can have an affinity with. The boarder between customer and manufacturer are getting thinner, and not because you can talk to a guy at the other side, but because they are meeting you in your everyday.

[@inbalmayan8706]

nice

[@meitalelimelech1483]

Absolutely right 😍

[@portalnoar]

cool

[@ניריתברוך-ע9ר]

very nice

[@JosephTongret]

There's so many flattering reviews of Burson Audio DAC's and Amp's that I wish there were any easy way to demo them. The only couple of hifi stores near me are about an hour away, but when it comes to DAC's they only ever have a couple of the big name/mainstream manufacturers units. Looking forward to the giveaways Jay! Thank you man!

[@DBravo29er]

Discrete OpAmps are a hugely underrated way to make noticeable SQ improvements. Good for Burson for making it easy!

[@CostasLivadiotis]

You knocked it out of the park on this one, my main man! My favorite reviewer by far! Intelligent and knowledgeable

[@timothytimmmedrano3132]

i look forward to the day Samsung takes care of audiophiles with an a great sound dac inside their phones!

[@FunFiEmpire]

I agree with you on the DAC - I have a 2017 J7 and the sound is terrible. I cannot afford a new one, and am saving up for a dongle, but since it does not have a USB C - the thought of having a converter, and a dongle, and the headphone gives me the heebie-jeebies. As far as Samsung event - an iem / earbud giveaway would be great!

[@rig4365]

thanks for the opportunity Jay. That's a great amp.

[@VortekShow]

Our flatshare needs a new microwave, if Samsung has a good deal, we might go for it. Winning this beautiful amplifier would be the cherry on top :D I might even think about switching my speakers for Magnepan's. Given your stories about them, they seemed appealing, however as a student, I simply couldn't afford an amplifier capable of driving them. How are you going to contact the winners?

[@bryaneditiontv600]

I ve been asking me the same question how are winners gonna get contacted

[@jeff-woo]

I like the different orientations that the integrated can be set up. Thanks!

[@RX_Char_01Patti]

Looking foward to the Samsung Event. Really good amplifier. Love your videos for simplicity and still detailed.

[@eeyorebill04]

Hmmm this Burson would be awesome. I'd be interested to compare it to my current amp, a DIY amp I built...probably very different beasts. Thanks for the chance Jay!

[@marknykorak7662]

Jay, thank you for proving the point that there is newer product being manufactured that can compete with my retro components.

[@tjadekegler8675]

The intergrated amplifier-market is evoloving very quickly since a few years and that's a very good thing.

[@francomendoza5151]

Nothing is holding Samsung up in the audio world. Welcome! Great choice with Burson for a team up.

[@mnmlist1454]

I got the Burson Funk after watching your review on it & I love it on my desktop paired to the SoundArtist LS3/5a. I'm praying to have the Timekeeper 3i next for my living room setup.

[@michelmayrand9557]

Interesting amplifier. Loaded, 100 watts, class A-B, headphone amp, Dac, and Bluetooth? It certainly worth a try at that price. Good review!

[@vaylalo1]

Thank for great content Jay. I only try vintage gear on my system. I wonder how new stuff are compared with vintage. I guess eventually I will find out.

[@chichiuhui7166]

Thanks Jay, I like headphone amp of Burson audio and I have one two years ago and it still working good. I really want to see how does it sound for their integrated amp for the stereo setup.

[@AdnanFiroze]

1. Done 2. The smart home solutions like controlling TV to vacuum cleaners piqued my interest the most. 3. Done 4. Done Keep up the great content Jay!

[@aperez301]

Thanks for doing this Jay. Hoping I can get in on that Samsung sweepstakes. I need some new home appliances.

[@yeechern8172]

This Burson is definitely a top contender if someone is in need of a compact All-In-One in any price bracket. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@j.n.335]

thanks for the review and comments on all the Burson can do & the samsung info.

[@TheVoicefrombelow]

Nice looking amp. I'm surprised you think it beats the Hegel. High praise indeed!

[@TomStacy1]

Very interested in the Burson, and mostly finished with a kitchen remodel but will be looking at the Samsung offerings. New floor is screaming for a robot though, the dogs would love it!

[@em-felixgeorge9111]

Thanks for The Burston Intro. I do fancy the compact factor of the Samsung Flips..

[@amd9525]

Can't wait to win that fantastic integrated amp. Your praises for it makes me want it more.

[@anhy10ful]

You compare it with the Hegel H190. It must be a good integrated amp. The amp looks nice and compact good for desktop. Thanks for the review.

[@vineshasomaroo9481]

Well, It looks like its more suitable for a near field desktop setup and not for a full fledged home theatre or music setup in a large room. Nice review Jay.

[@vincent55590736]

I had the Burson timekeeper power amp and was impressed. I recently sold and replaced it with SMSL Vmv A1. Nice integ.

[@tharak123]

Great review Jay. I watched the Zero fidelity review as well. Looks like an end game amplifier for many.

[@willbalkovec2631]

Really want a Hegel - this is intriguing. Thanks for adding this to my shopping list.

[@Askew82]

I love how you can change op-amps. It's like tube-rolling but with solid-state.

[@petruneamtu5109]

Hi Jay I watch every video from you because it's interesting and I can find out about the gears you showing and speaking. I learn a lot from you Thanks.

[@izbit8736]

I'm happy to see you reviewing KEF, I truly love their more affordable range. I can only imagine what the LS50 Meta sound like.

[@tjnilles]

Will definitely check out more on the Samsung deals next week, this Burson would look nice on my equipment rack!

[@chinthakawanasinghe2013]

Wow! 5kg class A/B design that's equal to Hegel almost half the price is something! Great review Jay. Wishing I can win this!

[@christian2123]

Cool amp. Like the Hegels I just wish they had one or two more analog inputs.

[@nepponS]

Looks like a nice improvement of my dated primare i22. Thoose Samsung refridgerator looks awsome..

[@kenheidenreich3458]

Great video - I was thinking of getting a H120 but I will have to consider this unit.

[@realnomics8316]

This is a great giveaway you are doing. Wish there was more like this in order to try more gear and grow as a listener. Thanks Jay for doing this for us

[@humanitech]

Sounds like Burson are really setting a good benchmark for the price...one-day might try one out.

[@Hrabo27]

It is really cool that Samsung take the effort and show us how well can Samsung products communicate each other making our life easier!

[@jowo92]

That is a lot of features and performance packed into such a small footprint! Haven't ever seen this brand in my home country (Malaysia). Hope can see and try it out soon!

[@craignickerson1227]

Love that your able to change op amps.

[@rippedgeek]

Excellent review, as always. I'm definitely looking forward to the bundle offers info from the Samsung event!

[@kylekuhnle]

Thanks jay and team. Samsung has been great with tech lately and i am looking forward to seeing what kitchen deals they have

[@ambarishkundu8378]

Nice job Jay.. the Burson amplifier looks so good.. thanks for the review.

[@TameRiley]

Great unit for people who use headphones and speakers equally! Great work Jay.

[@chanyy78]

It is rather impressive to have those class A/B components to be fitted into such a small case, and yet contains the DAC and pre-amp functions, all these inside a small aluminum case making it a magnificent piece of art. In my opinion, the best feature of this little amp is, the ability to do op-amp rolling, this has provided the convenience to us the user to test and find the appropriate op-amp with the preferable sound characteristic.

[@garryc1180]

Very informative review of the Timekeeper 3i and it appears to be a very solid unit. Thanks for the link to the Samsung site and as usual, they have an awesome array of products to offer and continue to provide innovative solutions to the public. I enjoy your candid reviews and keep up the great work in bringing information to the masses.

[@mosesxx7]

Thanks so much for the video. I look forward to testing this out one day. Keep up with the wonderful work.

[@cb6171]

Have to say , i dont know much about the Burson , well i didn't until i watched the review, superb , Sounding like a Hegel is good enough for me

[@tchevy99]

Great comparison. The Hegel's are a very interesting solution for all in one's, so interesting to see how other kind of solutions compare.

[@sagarSagar-py5lt]

A big thanks to you for supporting young audiophiles and Samsung is great as always .

[@davidmorrison1976]

Intelligent, cogent, articulate. I really rate your reviews, Jay and great to get a headsup on a more affordable but high- performing alternative to Hegel.

[@Marco-of2on]

Looking forward to learn more about Samsung Smartags and hope to see more great reviews from your channel. Thanks

[@carlossalazar340]

Keep up the great reviews! 🔊As for the Samsung event, looking forward mostly to their home products and its overall platform.

[@deoncruywagen5191]

I really like what I see about the Burson Timekeeper. Time to start saving up. Thanks for introducing me to this. I always enjoy your channel, but this is even better than usual. 👍👍👍

[@TuneHead]

Another quality vid. That unit looks like a winner. I agree, it realy does need a pre-out to be a monster. Keep up the vids. Thanks for entertaining me Jay.

[@squeegebergren3501]

Love the ability for different sound characteristics that can be changed within the amp.

[@jackneber2609]

Great review Jay. Have always liked the Burson value proposition from days when they might only have been making high-end op-amp modules.

[@mikepaul2372]

Damn giving away Burson equipment! Damn. I am currently looking at the Hegel 95, Vincent Audio and maybe step up to Accuphase. Great video and information.

[@speedogomer]

Separates are great, but a great integrated amp can be even greater. There's something to be said about a unit that can do a little bit of everything.

[@findyourzero]

That burso integrated amp is so much beefier than the photo. Love to hear how it sounds!

[@deankurtz4888]

You have made it fun and interesting. I did actually buy a Hegel H190. Your video helped my decision.

[@pedrob2025]

I always look for your reviews, great content, keep it up. Thanks

[@jimfarrell4635]

I have a Burson Conductor 3XP and love it. Burson build to a very high standard both internally and externally, DAC implementation is great and the ability to swap op amps is a real bonus.

[@christofferpetersson6047]

Never heard a Burson, would be nice to get to listen to this amp!

[@JayLee-dj4tv]

Just what I was looking for. Keep up the good work Jay!

[@tuyjoseph884]

Hi Jay, I always follow your advices when purchasing new hi-fi devices. This is just because of your honesty and truthful advices and thus have helped me not to waste my money in investing in my audio system. Thanks a lot

[@BrokenSpoke21]

I love that you can simply plug and play with swapping the op amps on the burson! I am decent with the solder iron but when you start messing around with expensive equipment with one, it sure makes you think twice about it! And as an engineer I love that you can tinker with the equipment

[@MrMrpony]

Looking forward to the Samsung fridge tv event 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 And popping that amp in my near field setup 😄

[@fabfour289]

Nice review Jay.. btw looking forward to that Samsung vacuum robo

[@vjpeters5326]

The Burson looks like a keeper. Can't wait to compare it to my current system. I am looking forward to the smart fridge launch as I am looking to upgrade my fridge!

[@t0nyxgq]

I was going to save up for a Hegel H95 for the Hegel sound but this review convinced me to get the Burson Timekeeper 3i. I ordered an open box unit. Hopefully it is already broken in some so I don’t have to spend a long time breaking it in.

[@t0nyxgq]

Update: When I got the unit yesterday, instead of it being an open box unit, it was a new unit which I paid open box price for. SCORE! Got it all set up and did some A/B comparisons with my Topping D70s + MP-301 combo. The Burson sounded bad and was blown out of the water by the combo, which cost around half the price. It was trebly, congested, with male vocals sounded like it was stuffed in a metal can. TBH, I got a bit nervous about spending all this money to only sound terrible but I let it burn in overnight on a pair of headphones and tested it out again. Today the Burson was much more open sounding. The soundstage has a lot of air and was no longer congested. The treble is more detailed and still a bit more trebly than I like but it's headed in the right direction. I took the pre-out from the Burson and plugged it into the MP-301 and did a faster A/B switch for the DAC/Pre out comparison. The Burson DAC sounded very similar to the Topping D70s to the point where I might be ok with selling the D70s and not miss it. (just bought that a few months back too). Listening to speakers (Elac DBR62) it sounds much better today. Strong, authoritative presentation. It's definitely opening up. I'm going to let it continue burning in on speakers during the day and headphones at night.

[@laprisetom]

Looking forward to the Samsung TV event! Thx for Burson review Jay!

[@tlrasmussen100]

Love your channel and enthusiasm, Jay! I want to see what kind of deals Samsung has on its TVs and monitors.

[@Vicballstats]

i love your videos and i also love Burson Gear, i currently have a Burson conductor DAC. Appreciate your time doing these reviews. thank you

[@mcbase6130]

It is very interesting to discover a new amplifier brand. Thanks Jay

[@juanmaba]

Great content Jay, I've got a Burson Funk because of you. Looking forward to see what's new on Samsung vacuum robots.

[@pearlnapster]

Thanks jay for another great video. Can’t wait to see a Samsung picture frame tv on my wall! Thanks for the continued audiophile support.

[@zenfishbike]

Looking forward to see the latest Samsung microwave ovens and the styling. Samsung already makes the best refrigerators and am looking to upgrade everything in my kitchen. The Burson Integrated Amplifier sounds like the ideal one for my system, would love to try it out

[@morenoschroeder]

Never heard about this brand before, nice to know, thank you Jay.

[@robertbrown1876]

Love you quality audio input always bro!! Keep rocken them out!!

[@nrafaco]

Looking forward to a good deal on a Samsung S21. And a Burson amp. I bought a Parasound 200 on your recommendation , and I love it.

[@chamillo]

I love the design Burson is using in their new units but they are a little too expensive for my budget. Great review though! Have you tried op amps from other brands?

[@recboilable]

Thanks for the amazing review of the Burson! I'm looking forward to the Samsung sweepstakes that they're hosting!

[@goldengoose5744]

I hope Samsung will show howto or start integrating their stuff with voice activating systems like Google home or Alexa. Great channel Jay and keep up the good work.

[@kjbiz]

The robotic vacuum on the Samsung show looks cool. Anything to make my place clean before I get home 😊

[@yerfdogjohnny]

Another great review. I could certainly see this in my den set up. Thanks again!

[@hugocosta179]

For me Hegel is still the king. I heard the h390 with a set of S400s and definitely they can bring these speakers to a new level, especially when compared with class D monoblocks - which are not bad, but cant really compare. Personally I'm looking to try something from PASS Labs or actually go with the power amp that hegel has (the h30). for the samsung event i'd like to see if there is a TV or projector give away. Keep up the great work.

[@gerard3797]

I can really recommend the Kinki B7 mono blocks. I have them with S400, completely transformed the experience. The control in bass also removed the majority of the bass issue I had. Before this I had Hypex 250w class D with also high damping factor, but not even remotely close. The mid range om the B7 is full and nothing liking class D, especially on the S400. Saying this Burson amp is close Hegel H190 is just ridiculous and should be evaluated on more speakers. Watch the video of Sean of ZeroFidelity, who is a much better source. I am planning to use the Holo Spring 3 as dac/preamp.
