Jolida JD9 Phono Preamp With Burson Audio V6 Op Amps

Has anyone tried this combination? I presently have Burr Brown OPA627ap’s in my JD9 but I’d like to try these Burson discrete units in it. I’m just not sure the Bursons will fit without touching the lid of the shielding box inside the case, they look kinda tall. Specs say they’re 1.14" in height but they look taller than that in the few photos I’ve dug up. I’m hoping someone has tried this combo and can tell me if they’ll fit and save me the trouble of taking my JD9 out of the rack and measuring the space in there. I’d also welcome any opinions on the sound of the Burson discrete V6 or V5 op amps. 
Regards, Sam

Yeah, that would be my thinking also. I really wouldn't want to leave the top off, it's there for a reason. It shields everything in there from interference and stops noise from getting in the system. I've got an itch to tweak on this thing some more and discrete op amps would probably scratch it for a while.

There is a long thread over at audiokarma that is dedicated to the JD9.
You might want to ask your question over there.

I did, two weeks ago, and haven't received an answer. There's not much going on with that thread nowadays. Most, if not all, of the folks that started it seem to have moved on to something else. I've read all 106 pages and there's only a mention of Burson op amps, no relevant info.

I'm interested as well. Hopefully someone who has tried this will chime in.

They also make some extension cables that would allow you to place the op-amps in the open space of the JD9.

I used them with some older Bursons (V3?) that are in my need-to-find-a-new-home stash.
