New Head-Fier
Okay, so I definitely need someone's help now. I tried contacting burson, all I got was a response saying they would get back to me, and then absolutely nothing.
I ordered the sparkos SS3602 dual op amps and wanted to swap them into the input stage.
I tried to be careful, I let the burson stay on for a full day before measuring. When I finally did measure I got around 60mv of DC offset on the xlr and single ended out. That seemed way off to me as I heard earlier in the thread that I should measure 1-5mv stock.
So I started turning the blue trim pots on the burson to see if I could lower it. I turned them to the left, and mv went up, so I turned them to the right, it started going down, but then I couldn't seem to get it any lower than 30mv. I turned some of them back to the left and eventually was able to measure around 17mv on both channels through both xlr and single ended.
When I plugged in headphones, the small pop I would always hear was now almost completely gone. "This is a good thing" I thought. So I then swapped in the sparkos and mv was measuring about the same. Started listening, and things were fine. Then I swapped back to the V6 vivids and things were also fine. But I did now hear a very small pop again when plugging in.
I swapped to the sparkos one last time, and this time as soon as I plugged in there was a very loud pop in the right driver! I unplugged the headphones and measured again, left channel was now suddenly changing quickly from 0-10mv and back again, while right channel measured 28 VOLTS! Not 28 millivolts, 28 VOLTS!
I just remeasured again, and now suddenly things seem fine, both channels are around 20mv. What the hell is happening and what do I do to fix this? Burson has not responded to my emails other than saying they would get back to me when I first emailed them 2 weeks ago.
