Burson Audio V6 Classic Opamps

From home hi-fi and car audio to recording studios and computer sound cards, everything the Burson V6 Classic touches instantly sounds better. It’s earned a great reputation among audiophiles, boasting 15-plus years of praise with six revisions and more than 2 years in the field. In fact, you can find people talking about this legend on virtually any audio forum in virtually any language. Meant to bring you closer to the artist, the sound is intimate and engaging, with excellent detail and impact and a dash of warmth in the vocals and mid-high section. Plus, the opamp comes with a lifetime warranty and incorrect-plug-in protection. So while your other audio equipment may come and go, the V6 Classic is a keeper.

In a five-star review, DjBobby says, “The Classic reminded [me] of [a] Mercedes with leather and mahogany. Smooth, relaxed, laid-back. No need to drive fast; it is more about enjoyment. The soundstage is smaller and more intimate; you feel like the band is playing only for you in a smaller club. Works particularly well with solo and chamber music, with jazz (where you can feel the intimate atmosphere of the smoky club), and with old rock.”
