I run my Burson V5 singles with LME49720HA duals on adapters. Very happy with the results and definitely an improvement in sound quality in my opinion. Greater clarity to the music and better control of bass. This is just my opinion and your results may/will vary. Cheers from Oz.

I'm curious to know what you all run on the duals when just running the singles?
Stock? 823's? Something else?

Also have there been less issues with the singles?

Thanks

My duals are probably waiting for final delivery, used to use stock 5532 before and I couldn't complain. A lot of people also love 49720ha for it's clarity, but it can sound too bright.

Singles compared to stock has considerably less grain, the feeling of slight congestion is gone, and gets rid of sibilance for me. It is almost unlistenable without the singles because of the HE-560 sibilance, so it does make a quite a lot of difference. In general it makes it more 'warm', but does not lose any clarity throughout. Looking forward to trying the duals compared to the 5532.

Just put my V5 duals in replacement of stock NE5532P and I really don't notice much difference with my FLC8s. Might have to say it sounds unfavorable, but will have to burn-in and wait until my HE-560 gets back.

Seeing that even some of new batch V5s have already bit the dust, starting to contemplate upgrading to V4 singles instead, given that they are rated at 20V, unless I am mistaken.
 
Anybody with experience with both V4/V5 wants to chime in?

I'm not sure the V4s will fit without modifying the cover.

They fit just fine. I ran them for awhile before getting the V5s. There is an adapter/extender  that can be removed giving plenty of clearance. Later V4s sold fo the H10 had one of the singles cut so as not to interfere with board components.
