My V550 Pro showed up today. (Right now its basically an ice block). Any thoughts on how long I should wait to stabilize it to room temperature before plugging it in?
I would be patient just in case! Lol. I got my WA22 in a couple of days ago and it was pretty cold. I waited 20 min and it was fine. I'm sure a solid state would be even sooner.My V550 Pro showed up today. (Right now its basically an ice block).

I normally wait 2 - 4 hours depending on how cold it was at arrival.My V550 Pro showed up today. (Right now its basically an ice block). Any thoughts on how long I should wait to stabilize it to room temperature before plugging it in?

I had an extended @ 1 month in home demo with a 1266 Phi TC and I thought that it sounded very good working from my v550. The v550 input gain setting was left at unity (default all switches down), I was working from Soekris dac1541 and Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE. Both DACs using balanced output into the v550, headphone was using stock Abyss XLR connected to v550. The amp had plenty of power to control the 1266 with authority throughout the FR. It was one of the best matchups with my setup that I've heard. IMO if you already have the amp and are thinking of that headphone - don't let the amp stop you.does anyone know if v550 is capable of driving 1266TC well??
Did your V550 arrive as scheduled? I'm absolutely blown away with mine given the small amount of time I've had with it so far.I normally wait 2 - 4 hours depending on how cold it was at arrival.
My V550 is due to be delivered today.

yes it drives the abyss very welll, a good match, in fact I just ordered the v550 as to drive my abyss phi tc, I thought about buying the ferrum oor combo. v550 provides the big sound stage and the deep bass. With ferrum, it needs the combo as to be called good. so not worth it as need to spend more money. Sadly v550 has not arrived yet. Will do a YouTube review on my channel once I get it.does anyone know if v550 is capable of driving 1266TC well??
Indeed you were lucky or smart. I knew that after audition 1266 Phi TC and Susvara that I was going to want them both. I picked up a Susvara first thinking it would be hit by price increases if not for anything, other than increased cost to ship from overseas... I figured Abyss in the US was going to be easier to source and prices would be less or equal on the street. Boy was I wrong...I was lucky to buy the Phi tc on October before the price went up. Never expected the price would go that high.
Hey you also have the Soekris2541 how do you like it so far? Also runing it together with a V280 FE.does anyone know if v550 is capable of driving 1266TC well??
Can the V550/590 be upgraded from the normal pot to the "Pro" pot after purchase? Or do they need to come with those from the factory? I know some parts can be added/upgraded, but wasn't sure if this was one of them.
Thanks.
