AD825 is very nice as a single. AD823 is nice as dual but it's a little harsh on the highs.

i've got spare lt1028s (4, i think) they've been used, but work fine (they were socketed). if you want to try them, let me know. they sell for about $13 each for 8 pin dip singles.

i just ordered a bunch of LT samples including the 1028.
what i need are dual opamps.
on the list, what are all the different pdip versions? like CN and IN and sorts. i dunno which one so i just went with the first model # that said pdip 8.
some sound impressions would be nice on these different chips that are being suggested... as well as comparisons. i prefer lively sounding chips. i don't care about air and soundstage. just want a fast powerful sound with plenty of high end zing so that cymbals actually sound metallic and not whining plastic.

Try the old AD847 - it does what you stated you want - bias that mofo with 3ma and it sweetens up a bit

1057, 827 and 8056 just came in
1057 sounds slow
827 is very nice sounding with good prat but the bass is pathetic
8056 is ok i guess, sounds kinda fake tho
still in the search...
