Burson Soloist SL is a smaller,scaled down version of the award winning Burson Soloist. The SoloistSL exists for one purpose only, to be one of the best headphone amplifiers in theworld, and at this price point, we think Burson may have justmanaged it. Pitching the Soloist SL against the likely competitorsat this level shows the Soloist SL to be a highly accomplishedcontender, and much like Burson's other models, its exceptionalvalue for money.Circuit DesignJust like the Soloist, the Soloist SL is completely discrete in design. (IC free). It features the same 21 component Field Effect Transistor input stage and the same discrete power supply network which brought popularity to the original

Quality well worth paying for.
I bought this headphone amp after a series of upgrades: I'm fully satisfied with this and it will be on my desk for a good while yet. It replaced a Heed CanAmp, which was very good for its price, but I had the itch to go one better. In comparison, it gave a much fuller sound, but initially it had a hard edge to it, which gradually became more mellow. It's very handy having two output levels, especially if you have a range of headphones, but also for different recordings that vary in their sound levels. The amp is good for all genres of music, from delicate chamber to full orchestral. It's a pricey item, but the quality is well worth paying for if you are after a top-rate system.
