I kid you not, my headphones themselves even "sound" better due to the headband and earpad shape from resting them on the GT in vertical position with the cooling stand. They seem different and more pleasant. Perhaps doing something with the soundstage in a subtle way.

How good are these with the Susvara?

Oh yeah, let us know what you think after 50 hours of burn in.

Dropped in a pair of 2590s into the Volume stage. Have 10 hours on them. With the 994s in the Input stage, I think something magical is happening.

Good lwardy that config sounds good. Bless the wisdom and experimentation of this forum!

I am interest in getting 2590s for volume stage since it is one area with the most space/room inside the Soloist. Keep us in the loop

So far I prefer the S2590's in the Volume Control Buffer Stage. I love the midforward sound. It's incredibly detailed and dynamic sounding. The bass has very good impact.

I put the 2590's in the Input Buffer Stage and the soundstage expanded but at the same time the music seemed like it got pushed back. That midforward sound that I enjoy was gone. So now I'm sticking with the S2590's in the Volume Control Buffer Stage.

I would highly recommend DUAL SS2590s for the Input Buffer and the 994s at Volume Stage.

I'm enjoying the crap out of it at the moment.

appreciate for the suggestion. I am trying to keep things simple and no wire extension of any kind. if I just need to replace a pair, which one would be best

For me, the sound of this configuration is hard to beat. The soundstage is so wide compared to my other amps, it's really fascinating. Along with great imaging and clarity, I easily get immersed in the music. It gives me a peripheral vision in hearing the music so to speak.

Keep in mind these op-amps need burn-in. 50 hours at least, 100 hours for good measure. I remember after my 50 hours mark, they started to blossom.

Hi @Slim1970, Andrew from Sparkos replied when I'm inquired the 2590. Is that true or I just need a pair of 2590 with the 8dip adapters and call it a day?

Generally if you want to use DUAL SS2590s you will need to order the 8DIP adaptor which also has the option to include 2x SS2590s preinstalled on the adaptor. You will need to order 2x this configuration to make it 2x DUAL SS2590s.
The 8DIP adaptor should be on the website somewhere.

assuming this is all I need correct?

 

[PhazeCrive]

Hit +1 on that cuz need two of the "fully assembled" adapters. The total should be about $252

Yep, the option with two SS2590s presoldered/installed.

Order 2x of that config so you will end up with 2x DUAL SS2590s (4x single-end SS2590s)

Thanks for the share, I ordered the S2590s as well. I will try both the configs you have mentioned. I haven't thought about the 994ench yet, maybe I won't need to try those if the S2590 can do the magic.

When paired with the SS2590s the 994s give a boost to dynamics and mids energy, I found for my tastes, it matched nicely in the Volume Control Stage where the SS2590s are left to shine in the Input stage.
My Verite Opens really love this format.

Got it, thank you. So I have to order 2 of the 994 ench as well?
