It must be written on product page like "This item must be placed below shelf". Anyway, I'm not happy at all. If anybody interested mine on sale. Almost new in box condition.
Burson Soloist 3X Grand Tourer Head Amp/Pre Amp w/Sub out - 10W XLR
- Thread starter The Hawk
- Start date
I got mine in a shelf beside a bean bag and I don’t hear it. Granted, I use air conditioning for comfort and that’s more audible than the GT
Attachments
Been using the amp for about 3 weeks now and have never heard the internal fan. It's approximately 3ft away from me standing vertical. Using open backs + low gain - don't hear it with music on or idle. Maybe I should check to see if the fan is even turning on!
I've been using my GT for about a month and the fan noise is barely audible. I don't find the fan noise obtrusive at all.
SILs have been opening up. At first I didn’t hear any improvement from my Sparkos ss2590 + ss3602 combo but I’m hearing improvements over the past couple of days. How long have your SILs burned in before they sounded ideal?
These op amp upgrades (ss2590+ss3602, or ss2590 + SIL 994) are definitely top tier improvements over stock.

I'd say minimum 50 hours, 100 hours for good measure.

replace the bursons with Orange Dual op-amps...thank me later
I’ll make a note of this for perhaps a next iteration. I did read reviews that the Orange has some similarities to ss3602, though ss3602 draws more power and can reach a higher Class A current level (quite a match for GT). For now I think I need time to burn in the SILs and appreciate this 3rd configuration after enjoying ss2580+ss3602 the past few weeks.
With the Burson op amp rolling for the Susvara, and tube rolling with the new Cayin Ha-3A for the Elites, there’s So many permutations to play with! Audiophile itch is well scratched.

Anyone that ends up playing with op amps and has extenders on the V6's, or I suppose any op amps, make sure the op amps are properly attached to the extenders. My headphones sounded fine but I ended up having static noise coming from my right speaker in preamp mode. Ended up being the cause of a V6 not being properly seated on an extender by just a hair.

I'd like to try a few of these configs and am looking to order the SS2590's, however I have a couple of questions:
https://sparkoslabs.com/product/pro-discrete-op-amp-ss2590/
is $60 for one or two op-amps?
do I need to buy any of those extra adapter boards at the bottom of the page?
Thanks!

thanks! I just bought the sparkos ($257 shipped) and the 994Enh-Ticha Dual ($192.25 shipped)
where can I get those extensions that I saw in the pictures? I'm assuming I'll need those to relocate the stock red opamps?
Yeah you’ll need a pair of those extensions depending on the configuration. Burson sells them from their website.
You might find other Burson-branded extensions elsewhere (like I have, from an online store here in Asia).
