Scott’s Burson V5i Opamp with Harman Kardon SoundSticks III 2.1 Speaker System

Post Info

I purchased the V5i OP-AMPS for my EVGA NU Audio Pro sound card. The OP-AMP replacement was really easy. The resulting sound, while not yet broken in, is already incredible! The soundstage width and all levels of sound have been enhanced quite a bit over the default OP-AMPS. Thanks for such an incredible, inexpensive product!
