I received my V5 duals today. They're burning in and sound really different - I'll leave it at that, for now, as they will probably change after several hours.
My only complaint is that one of them doesn't sit squarely over the DIP8 socket of my amp's PCB because that particular V5's DIP8 adapter is rotated easily 7 degrees about the vertical axis, relative to the red case from which it protrudes.
If I like the sound after a good burn-in, I'll be requesting an exchange (and go back into another 16-day wait, I suppose). I intend to machine holes into the lid of my amp and I want both holes to be parallel to the case, instead of cutting one of them cockeyed to align with the twisted V5. There's absolutely no play in the V5 itself, so it's not something I can fix by applying torque.
If I don't like the sound after a good burn-in, I'll just return them for a refund.
This is a crude drawing of what I had planned...

Update: I'm feeling less disappointed. Listening as they burn-in and just 30 minutes out of the box, they're improving dramatically - starting to win me over with a few attributes that are really special.
Something wonderful is about to happen.
