Hi all, I have put my Burson 3X GT (red) up for sale. It is only 6 months old. I also have the op-amps as extra add-ons. It is on Audiogon.

I have been consolidating the solid-state amps down to just one. I currently have the Ferrum OOR and really do love its organic sound over the Burson. The OOR is definitely closer to a tube sound than Burson. Burson is more lively, dynamic, and sharp. The opamp rolling was actually fun but it didn’t get me closer to what I prefer with my giant tube amps and the OOR. Nothing wrong with the Burson. As a matter of fact, I thought about using it purely as a preamp since it is so versatile.

I just switched up to Configuration #2 after listening to Configuration #1 for the longest time. Man, I'm falling in love with the amp again. The sound is so tube-like comparable to the Gold Lion KT77. Furthermore, I threw in my Gustard P26 preamp with Vivid V6 into the chain and it increased the soundstage width and depth. Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah.

Anybody here use Gustard R26 DAC with their GT? In stock opamp configuration. If so how does this pair sound?

I posted my Sparkos Labs SS2590s in classifieds for sale in case anyone is interested in trying them at a discount. Picked up a pair of the v6 classics and will settle with BA op-amps.

I am burning in some SS3602 at the moment. So far, when listening to Karen Souza's voice, it's smooth and lush. Before when I had the Vivids in there, I would hear distortion in her voice. Soundstage and airiness are the same, only thing I noticed so far is a boost in the middle mid-range frequencies making saxophones, drum snare and voices sound brighter. Maybe the brightness will smooth out over time, we will see after 200 hours.

How are you liking the 3602 in the voltage stage? That's the one place I still keep a Vivid or Classic. Been pondering a smaller 3602 there

I am liking the higher resolution and in effect improves the imaging. The resolution additionally increases while in High gain vs Medium and Low. I also like the soundstage, it's similar to the Vivids.

the Sonic imagery opamps adds the brightness...

It's in the lower range of brightness, more of shouty effect. It elevated the 1,800 Hz -2,000 Hz range. Anyway, after 50 hours of burn-in, it rolled off quite a bit but it's still there.
