Ordered for my Playmate 2:

• 2 V7 Vivid (dual) for I/V Stage.

I'll share my feedback when they arrive.

sound improves. Way more "faster"..no harshness, no added brightness. Image is solid as a rock, pulled back slighlty, bass is clean,perfect centered. But little less bass than V7s, then again we get more neutral sound.

Burson Audio Composer 3x:

I/V stage: Alfa Rpar AS-402
LP stage: Burson Audio Vivid v7


Conclusion: PURE MAGIC

Tried I/V stage V7v : more details and stereo effect very large, but with Ultrasone ED15 feels more far away, same for ED12. Not sure its a good thing, have to play louder to have same music level(why everyone is saying that V7 is louder?) or to have music "closer". Maybe heat is affecting performance 27 room and 41-44 Celsius on the surface, hottest sides and above opamps. Waiting for better weather to run more burn in, was quite harsh at first, but could be due to ED15 low time also. Would Burson benefit for extra cooling in this situation? What temp. is normal? Should I try 3602 in LP(brand new, wanted to test on something inexpensive at first initially)? Will try Pro 900. Also, anyone changing initial Burson settings for different opamps?
My magic is dark so far...

Ok..think this combo bested the previous one.

Alfa Rpar AS-402 in I/V stage
V7 Classic PRO in LP stage.

The bass blooms, saturated sound but still clear. Loudness increased. No sibilance. Sound is BIG.

highly recomended

Since You have Vivids and Classics now, have You tried a combo or it is not good at all compared to AS-402/V7C?

I prefer the AS-402 in IV stage. it's more neutal sounding as well brings out the reverb tails in music.
