I recently upgraded the opamp in my NAD PP2 with a Burson V6 Classic. The sound quality improvement is terrific. Bad news on the installation was due to the change in Burson’s casing, the footprint was too tight to fit where the 8 pin DIP was, so I made an extension socket with shielded RG-179 cable and laid the Burson V6 Classic on its side. The accessory extension socket from Burson uses unshielded wire, so it might pick up some noise from adjacent circuitry inside the phono stage. I’d definitely do it again, and in fact I’m about to order another V6 Classic for a second NAD phono stage, a PP2i.
Jolida JD9 Phono Preamp With Burson Audio V6 Op Amps
Has anyone tried this combination? I presently have Burr Brown OPA627ap’s in my JD9 but I’d like to try these Burson discrete units in it. I’m just not sure the Bursons will fit without touching the lid of the shielding box inside the case, they look kinda tall. Specs say they’re 1.14" in height but they look taller than that in the few photos I’ve dug up. I’m hoping someone has tried this combo and can tell me if they’ll fit and save me the trouble of taking my JD9 out of the rack and measuring the space in there. I’d also welcome any opinions on the sound of the Burson discrete V6 or V5 op amps.
