Mine always ran in +6. So.....

They have time to post to Head-Fi though.....
So unless they have a massive number of emails to sift through, fperra should have got a response no?

They responded yesterday after they posted on the forum.

During our test we found that with +6 and +12 setting the dual opamp on the back work most stable. With all other setting seems to cause the dual V5 to overheat. We are not sure the cause since we do not know how H-10 circuit configured.

Does that mean it is OK to run -6/-12 with singles only and stock NE5532?

Interesting question  

 

[Burson Audio]

Yes, seems this gain setting only affect the dual opamp on the back

Good to hear! Thanks for letting us know.

This is most interesting development on the Burson's front. Makes total sense - opamp in unstable configuration can start oscillating and will pollute device with high frequencies, causing everything to work extra hard, overheat and so on.
 
That implies that melting down V5 Bursons would happen only to people with full boat. Have we ever seen anybody with half-boat witness 'crying' Bursons?
 
Oh, wait, it might be more complicated... and some older half-boats might have melted simply because of voltage issue. Dunno.

I've been using my full boat for some time now with -12 gain, I better open it up tonight and see... scary

OG V5's(full boat) at +6, worse thing I have come across was that one of the singles had it's red casing a little raised (like 1-2mm); to which I just ran the H10 for like 1 hour to heat it up and then just firmly pressed down on the casing. *knocks on wood*

I can confirm that my Dual V5's failed when running at -6. I had burned them in for 200 hours in "normal" position without problems. 
 
I'm using 49720HA now, and they sound good. I hope my replacements arrive soon though.

Dennis just got back to me about 2 days ago. I just have to ship back the opamps to them then they can process my replacement. planning on shipping both singles and duals by tomorrow. I wonder how much the postage will be from here in the U.S. Apparently, per their new post, they are also offering the h10 heatsink for free for the h10 opamp pack. I wonder if I'll still be eligible.

Postage shouldn't be much without tracking. Could take really long though.

Looks like I will be going with the muses 02 in the dual slot. Not worth the risk for now. I like the idea of replacing a bipolar opamp with another bipolar anyway. Hear they are more stable/quiet in the input stage. Anyone else have this combo? I adore the muses in my little dot, the transition from opa2107 to muses was shocking. Having said that the v5 singles have been stellar and hope they don't pop.
