Hope those 827's work for you......just wanted to mention that when I got my discrete Sparkos opamps the first two hours or so we're pretty wild. The sound was cool and very unique.....BIG.
After a couple hours the sound was back to ''normal". Don't know if all new opamps need a little time to mellow out or not but just wanted to mention it.
I have two D2's......one with Maverick's upgraded opamps and one with the Sparkos. Every once in a while I go back and compare to remind myself of how much better the Sparkos opamps sound. It almost seems like they get better as time goes on.
Probably not but they were worth every penny.
