Burson V6 Vivid and V6 Classic Discrete Audio Opamps Discussion and Reviews
I use V5 and V5i in my headphone amplifiers, love both opamps. Curios with V6 especially the Classic "The V6 Classic deviates further from its V5 foundation. With an entirely different output stage design, it is intimate, exquisite and very engaging" regerds ~ron~- jazzwave
