Burson Soloist 3X GT vs Ferrum OOR

Both are desktop amplifiers, $2799 against $1995. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?

The Burson Soloist 3X GT reaches 100 dB on 567 of the 567 models here, the Ferrum OOR on 566.

A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.

The headphones that tell them apart

1 headphone reaches 100 dB on the Burson Soloist 3X GT but not on the Ferrum OOR — Symphonium Titan.

1 headphone is left alone by the Ferrum OOR under the one-eighth rule but coloured by the Burson Soloist 3X GT (Symphonium Titan).

566 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.
