Feedbacks - V5 SS Opamp
Aikiodo Linestage, Bang & Olufsen, KEF LS50

SS opamp improved trebles and bass texture, the bass impact also improved. Instrument separation becomes clearer. When I listen to a rock band, I can easily separate lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, and drum. Vocals become clear and focused. My audio system comes closer to a high-end system with this upgrade.
