Burson Audio Soloist 3X GT Balanced Headphone Amp/Preamp
The Soloist 3X GT embodies Australian company Burson Audio’s spirit of innovation. The balanced dual mono system achieves the highest possible audio performance. Under the cover of the Soloist 3X GT are two independently operated mono amplifiers in mirror image symmetry. The resulting pitch black background, phenomenal soundstage and insanely crisp detail are breathtaking!
The Soloist 3X GT is powered by five sets of Burson Max Current Power Supplies. Burson pushes these MCPS to the limit of their potential. So much so that they consume 90 watts when idling and need active cooling. An active, quiet NOCTUA cooling system was used for this. Although the Soloist 3X GT can output up to 10 watts, its goal is not maximum power, but maximum purity in sound. The V6 Vivid discrete operational amplifiers are considered among the best in the world and are used in many recording studios. The Soloist 3X GT uses three V6 Vivid operational amplifiers per channel for incredible transparency. Ordinary stereo volume controls create a lot of interference between channels. This is not the case with the Soloist 3X GT, using a MUSES72320 per channel together with a discrete V6 Vivid Buffer, eliminating any chance of interference.
We feel the sound just as we hear it. Before there were headphones, listening to music was always a full-body experience. For this reason the Soloist 3X GT has a connection for an external active subwoofer. This allows you to hear the detailed, finely resolved sound through your headphones and at the same time feel the bass from the subwoofer in your body. With the Soloist 3X GT you have the opportunity to reach a new level of listening to music via headphones – hear and feel the sound!
