Using a +/-15 volt supply. Anything better than the ol' NE 5543 for
this these days?


**The 5534/5532 were fabulous OP amps back in '82. MUCH better than the
OP that preceded them. It takes a seriously decent product to be any
better and, at that, there's only marginal audio differences in the
newer ones. Personally, I like the AD825. Technically, it is nicer than
the 5532 and slightly nicer sound-wise. The catch is that they are only
available in SMD variants and singles, at that. You need to source a
carrier (Brown Dog) to suit them.


Think I'll stick to the 5534. ;-)
