Jürgen Kraus of audioreviews.org tested the Burson V6 Classic, alongside the V6 Vivid, in a Burson Funk with both a neutral and a warm source, using Sennheiser HD 600 headphones and JVC HA-FDX1 and Final E5000 earphones.
Executive Summary
“The Burson V6 Classic opamps are a valid alternative to the V6 Vivid opamps for those who prefer a leaner, wider, and better resolving sound.”
V6 Classic vs V6 Vivid
In the Funk, he heard the Classic sound “wider, more open, leaner, more neutral, and flatter, but also faster”. In contrast, “the V6 Vivid create a thicker, bassier/warmer, deeper, more dynamic but also narrower sound.”
Who It Suits
He finds the V6 Classic works particularly well with acoustic pieces and jazz, and with sources too warm for the V6 Vivid. His tip: “Caution, “opamp rolling” can be addictive!”
