Just finished slotting the top cover (will need some touchup later and filter screens made, but got it functional at least for now):

Guess what just came in:
Figured I'd start off with the Classics. At first I was a little dissapointed in sound... then remembered about the dip switches in the back and the V5's needing +6V or +12V setting. Much better when not at the default stock setting... Torn between the two though. For +6V I love the bass, but the mids and highs are maybe just a tad bit too much forward from what I prefer. For +12V I love the balance between bass, mids, and highs...but the bass is too much and not as good quality as in +6V....
Also getting started with the top cover mods...
Have you had any time to listen and compare the Vivid and the Classic V6s? Or even the Bursons versus stock. I know you have two H10s so it should be pretty easy.
I put the V6 Vivids in mine last Friday. I have been putting some hours on them. I ran them over the weekend for around 75 hours. I have not swapped back to the V5s yet for a comparison.
I can see why some may say they are "technically" better than the V5. From memory there is a bit more air around voices and instruments. This may be because they produce a bit more emphasis in the treble range Bass is really nice. I need to put a few more hours on them then swap them with the V5s to get a better idea of the real differences. Some of what I am hearing could also be due to using the DAC output from the Burson CV2 which I received at the same time as I did the full set of V6 Vivids.. This is a new variable that I need to Take into consideration before I draw any final conclusions. So far, I do like what I am hearing, both from the H10 +V6 and from the Conductor V2+.
Also from what i've read the v5 were quite unreliable has that been sorted now>?
305 days per week ?? I know that is a typo, but what did you mean?
Anyway, I never ran mine constantly over long periods of time. I probably never exceeded 18 hours straight. Even at that, this was pretty rare. It was 10 hours occasionally and more often under 6 to 8 hours. Perhaps this may be why I did not see the problems that others did.
