I've recently had some boards made for this Jung schematic :

http://waltjung.org/PDFs/Composite_L...Distortion.pdf

But I have no AD823's yet (or ad825's), and I want to test the layout.

What replacements can I try ?
Is there something electrically unique about the 823 in this circuit?
...I have :
OPA 2107
OPA 2111
OPA 2134
OP 275
AD 712
LF 356

(needs to be unity gain stable)

How say you?

Keep in mind that AD825 is single, AD823 dual. I don't really understand how can people use AD823 as a default audio op-amp for their audio designs? It's noisy, harsh, artificially detailed with not many true details in the sound and sounding just correctly, nothing more. You can try OP275, OPA2107, AD8620, TLE2082, TLE2142, OPA2134, OPA2132. AD712 - noisy as AD823 and sounds very cold, unpleasant for me. Recommended alternatives: OPA2604, TLE2142, TLE2082 (a bit bright but very interesting), AD8066, AD8620. Best: AD825 x2.

I've built this circuit before with the stated AD823, and I quite like it.
Although I tack-soldered a 2134 in there, and volume is way too low using my usual 50k input pots.

AD823 = 80mA output current @ +15v
2107 = 40mA
2134 = 35mA
2111 = 10mA
OP275 = 30mA

...maybe that's why volume is low.

You are right, I mis-read the datasheet.
That also blow my theory as to the low output level.

(EDIT) Low output was once again, human error. My soundcard was set to low level output, hence...I am human.
The circuit works fine.
Thanks to those that replied.
