6 Moons just posted a review of the Burson Swing. https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/burson2/ Ren

Hi Raoul, Found a nice combo with the op amps I have using V5's in the I/V and the stock NE5532 in the other two....really sounds nice as the Preamp in my main system. Also gonna try the Sparkos instead of the NE5532 to see how that sounds. And I thought the extra $100 for the Everest was due...

Yes Ren

Hi Jeff, Am using the Playmate as a preamp...always check your amplifier's input sensitivity which is the voltage required for full output at it's specs. I am going from Playmate to an Adcom GFA545 which is rated with an input sensitivity of 1.25v and the Adcom has no volume control. No way I...

Raoul, Am running a Desktop PC. Am running the RCA outputs of the Playmate to an Adcom 545 power amp Never had an issue with the STX2. There is no buzz using the Playmate's headphone out or driving my desktop powered speakers with the RCA out. The buzz sounds like RFI gets less and...

Hi Raoul, Just wanted to thank you for posting the graphs, they really help with the filters. Only issue I am currently having is when I use the Playmate as a preamp to my main system, am getting some RFI. Have replaced the connecting cable, but made no diff. One thing I did find was that the...

Hi Eiffel, Agreed on the mixing of singles and duals. Ren

Hi Raoul, I understand your take...but the fact is the I'V needs the same opamps as does the LP and Headphone.. I know I will not be using singles on an adapter to separate the LP from the Headphone. Ren

H Thing is it limits the op amp possiblilties makes the unit basically a two opamp unit. Ren

Hi horatiu Really sounds like you have a bad Playmate....and yes I would send it back after asking for a replacement. You have talked about the high temps, and the sound cutoff after a few seconds....sounds like a component that is faulty in the unit. contact Burson. Ren

Hi Raoul, Got an email back from Burson. The LP and Headphone sockets are indeed split with half being LP and half being HP. This is indicates to me that both opamps must be the same,as is the case of the two I/V sockets. Per Burson : "This design arrange is mainly aim to keep the signal path...
