Pc, feeding it to Rme adi 2 as dac/preamp, to soloist gt with a super charger. The highs get amplified a lot in contrast to other parts of music.

That’s the same setup I’m using, an RME into the GT. You can always tone the highs down with PEQ.

Guys, hope you don't mind me posting my query here. I've messaged Burson in here and email and no response so far. It's about opamp rolling and I'm new to it.

Good day sirs, was just gonna ask here since there's not much going on in the Conductor 3x GT thead. In your experience, did changing the opamps to V6 Classics change the sound noticeably? I am asking since I find the Susvara pairing a bit bright for my liking, I was hoping to make it significantly warmer. If so, do you suggest replacing all the Vivids or just some? TIA

Edit: Any suggestions for a filter that warms up the amp as best as it could? Ears are tired right now and would like to try the suggestion after I get some rest.

It is bright with all headphones. The susvara, arya, th900 etc. all sound like crap in my system. Headaches from it. AP fast should not be used.

Change the filter to MP slow. Sounds great with that. Including very noticeable sound stage increase. Much better experience, as I was thinking this conductor sucked ass. Now I like it.

The Soloist 3X GT is brilliant with the HEKse’s. I have mine paired with a RME ADI-2 DAC in a sec setup. What DAC are you getting?

Gustard R26 arrives today or tomorrow & Audio GD DI-20HE DDC should ship today or sometime this week.

Nice pieces, I hear good things about Gustard R26. it should pair well with the GT. Have you done the op-amp upgrade?

I tried to order the extensions off Burson website, but they refunded me due to out of stock. I found a pair off ebay for cheap, but not sure if they work. I was planning on burning it in with the stock op-amps & upgrade to S2590s + SIL994s after. Also, since no DAC I haven't even heard the amp yet

I've owned my GT for over a year and curious on what op-amps would noticeably upgrade the sound. What would you recommend if budget wasn't in the question?

Oh man, the Sparkos labs SS2590’s and Sonic Imagery Labs 994Enh-Ticha’s. The sonic benefits have been discussed all through the thread.

That’s a good way to go about it honestly. Get familiar with the amp in its stock form first. Then if you like, upgrade 2 of the 3 sets of V6 Vivids later. I can say the 3X GT is good in stock form. It becomes great and hard to beat with the op-amp upgrades..

I second that. I’ve been enjoying GT since last year, and I’m currently on my second series of op amp upgrades. Will have a third upgrade when the SILs arrive; each step has been fun, and all sounded good and varied.

Apologies if I sound like a noob, been focusing on cables for the past few months & just getting around to op-amp rolling. Where would you orient the SIL994s and SS2590's on the Input Buffer, Voltage Gain, & Volume Control Buffer? Noticed many have different combinations for tuning the sound. Honestly just want a better version of the stock amp. Already love the clarity, impact, and soundstage the stock sound offers.

after going through the thread I gathered the majority seem to keep the voltage gain with the stock vivids and either Config A: Input -SIL994s / Volume SS2590s or Config B: Input - SS2590s / Volume SIL 994s. Those are the 2 orientations I'm going to try. I don't remember which config it was, but one requires the extensions for the Vivids due to the SS2590s being too big. Whichever config has them being side by side will require the extensions.

From a previous post; I've exported the images to .png and attaching them here

I believe #2 is widely regarded as the best configuration overall
