I have a Composer 3x dac, let me do a comparison and i will report back

stock tubes in head 2, boring, flat, sucky, anemic sound head 2 with Amperex PQ 6922? yeah like 10x better sound. LOL.

V7 Vivid..is great way to start, if they don't work ,you could sell them :D

crazy power for dynamics 70V p-p? ugh..oookay?

:eyes: that scratch can be fixed easy by a local furniture guy or buy car paint fix pen

1.4k wow...dayum best way to understand the value of the amp, is to show another manufacturer the passive components, in this case output transformers and the choke..power. Then kindly ask them what a amplifier with this kind of quality transformers , what a similar amp from them would cost...

I tried one time a long time ago to decipher " Just like porn, these loudspeakers got horns" ...still don't understand what Srajan meant..

V7 classics ofcourse...

V7 Vivid,linear , hard hitting,slight presence effect ( tones down after burn in) vs V7 Classic , more saturated, heavier on even order harmonics, slight roll-offed on both ends,pushes mids forward

direct from factory , email Alex Zaslavskis alfa@alfarzpp.lv

they crush the V6 series from Bursons in sound, which is all that matters.

I use these for higher supply rails https://www.alfarzpp.lv/eng/sc/AS402.pdf

especially the reviews where the thumbnail has a dude with his mouth open..like? i mean why are the mouths open ..they hungry? or a freudian slip?

yeah much cleaner than the classics

the Muzg adds a little pich of very pleasing color which this amp needs. fantastic op-amps from poland!

Midrange is open and detailed. nice amount of even order harmonics without being too over colored.

get direct from factory?

There is a substantial difference and everyone can hear. details, cleaner sound, blacker background, more linear sound, slight presence effect..gives cymbals more crash etc

The v7 vivid op-amps will have a huge impact in the IV stage. The sound will have more resolution and impact

Guess i have landed on my best combo of disrecte op-amps

yes

I prefer v7 Vivid in I/V stage, much more balanced sound and details.

pin 1 shows the direction/orientations.watch the youtube video.

see if i can revive some interest in this amp. short story; i had some discrete op-amps which had no use. They did not work for my taste in my Burson Audio products i own. That got me thinking, was it possible toi change the op-amps in the Heed Canalot ( which was collecting dust after no use)...
