As someone new to Burson, I have to say that the Conductor 3 Reference with the VT Classic OpAmps is absolutely brilliant. It has completely transformed my listening experience, bringing a level of clarity and depth that I haven’t heard in years. It’s like rediscovering music all over again—reminiscent of the days when I owned a spacious country home with a high-end system that was nothing short of extraordinary. The acoustics of the vaulted room, paired with the Ascendo loudspeakers, CODA amps, Herron phono stage, and other top-tier components, created a sound experience that was truly exceptional. The Conductor 3 Reference brings me back to that level of enjoyment and nostalgia, all in a more compact and modern setup. I’m thoroughly impressed!
