raymond555 did you compare V6 Vivids with AD827SQ I\V, Signetics NE5534N Buffer setup for ZXR??

My configuration is Muses 8820 in buffer and Sparkos SS3602 in I/V section. Sound is excellent and I had no problem putting the shield back in its place. Sparkos op-amps come with extra dip sockets. Have you tried removing them?First I tried them in the I\V section in my Asus STX II,with muses02 in the buffers,while they sounded great and punchy,Asus were dumb enough to share the same screw for the bracket and shield,and since those SS3602 are huge,I had to gave up the shield.
Did you really try V6 OPAMPS?hi guys
long time no see
its me raymond ,the original thread starter,its been a tough year,had no time for music or anything
now I'm back but I forgot my password...
so,back to business
ordered burson V6 classic, orange opamps,
lets say the burson is lifeless and that's about it.
was really suprised with orange dual opamps and I had to share my exprience with you guys
test those on both the ZXR and the STX II, and as time goes by, I can't help but to come to conclusion that the ZXR is the better card hands down,with the right opamps,it just blows the STX II out of the water.
stereo seperation is a lot better,the STX sounds mono next to the ZXR.
Now back to the orange opamps, bass and mid bass is very warm,very analog,punchy, guitars,vocals are well pronounced ,highs are butter smooth. very smooth and tidy, very musical ,very analog,so many high end opamps just missing these point...being musical.
put those in the I\V section with signetics 5534AN as buffers....just amazing....I'll update soon for more impressions.
speakers set to stereo direct.

Yes I did,they have some wierd,non authentic color to the sound,which I didn't like,the V5 are better in this regard,as they sound very clean but also very sterile.
The orange opamps,feels like sitting in the recording studio.
I did some tests with tracks like bonfire-hold the line,with the burson V6 the sound is kinda fake , especially the highs,while with orange opamps the sound is more flat, revealing,sound has more weight to it.
Queensryche-someone else, the piano is more audible in the orange,more upfront,while in the V6 this track sound a bit compressed to my taste,digital versus analog in the orange.
Both tested with signetics5534an which I found the best for buffers.
