Burr Brown is not technically really the best, people just think it is because its a name brand that has been said over and over through the years.

I know Alpine use to brag up and down about their Burr Brown dacs in the headunits. I know my cda-117 is still burr brown, but their newer models are just nameless.

Im pretty sure the Pioneer 80prs is still using burr brown, but the 99prs is using akm.

Either way Im sure Burr Brown is going to be better than the nameless opamps that are stuffed into many other amps, and that is a rock solid amp that you have on your hands!

Burr Brown op-amps are owned by Texas Instruments so I would just assume it would be just like any other component when designing and just pick the ones that fit your need.

They are nice because they have a lot of specifications that make amplification with really low distortion and noise while having a high speed.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

It's just a preference, can't really say one op amp is better than another, just like vacuum tubes, they have different tonal balance. It's up to your ear.

Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

They use to be there own company and not always owned by TI.

Exactly
