How do you find the bass on the Soloist 3XP vs 3X? That’s one of the biggest things I‘ll be looking for. I also like the fact that the 3XP uses Muses for the volume control.

Wil perfect volume matching, on an A/B test, I can't find a difference. Maybe I should retry this with dedicated bass-head tracks, I don't know.

The volume control on the 3XR would sometime skip or repeat numbers when turning it up or down. I took it as a lose of accuracy but it did not affect the quality of sound. The Muses should track much better and provide even better low level listening.

This is due to the rotary knob and the built-in firmware, so it should happen on all devices. Indeed, on 3XR this is happening a bit easier than on Soloist.

Your old Burson Fun is still going strong in my setup! It will only be sold soon to make way for the Soloist 3XP. Interesting thing about your LP mods, I had thought about the same cap mod, but changed my mind. I wouldn't have thought about changing the volume pot, though. I do agree that it's probably the weakest point on the LP; it makes the Soloist 3XP's volume implementation even that much more desirable, though. I would consider the Liquid Gold X a direct potential competitor to the Soloist 3XP in price and function if it weren't for those volume pots. I haven't heard it yet, though.

@JWahl glad to hear you’re still enjoying the Burson Fun. It did take the cap, volume pot mod, and upgraded tubes for the LP to best the sound of the Fun with Sparkos op-amps installed, in my opinion. The Fun is a very underrated amp.

The Liquid Gold X doesn’t seem to be taking off like the LP did. I fear that it will also need to be modded to get the best out of it. Since it‘s a dumb down version of the original Liquid Gold. On top of that, there is more competition at that price range. There are cheaper amps that will give it a run for its money sound wise.

I’ll be joining the Soloist 3XP club here soon hopefully. It was a no brained for me to buy it since I enjoyed the Conductor 3XR so much that I sold. Plus I’m a big fan of the Burson sound.

Same - I’m quoted the 6th so I guess they were loading up the pallet to be delivered to DHL HK depot

I’m curious to see if this will trigger the 25% customs import fee when coming from Hong Kong into the US. I know this will happen for a DAC I’m getting from China proper.

Did anyone import their recent Burson amplifiers into the US and have to pay a customs fee?

I had to pay the added UK import duty

I emailed about my order yesterday. I didn’t get an exact date but I was told shipping has started in chronological order and they hope to have all preorders shipped in the next 10 days. Mine is probably towards the end.

I ordered a pair v6 classic opamps as well just to see what they were like. They had 20% off a week or so ago. They arrived before my amp.
