So I finally got around to sourcing parts for some of the many amp boards I've been collecting
I decided to also power some of them with a TREAD, but I'm curious about the many choices for the LM317.
Specifically, Tangent mentions the National version is better than the others (such as Fairchild, I presume). I'm just wondering what the National version gives me that the others don't. Better durability? Quality control? Performance? Peace of mind, knowing I paid for the "Best"?
The price difference isn't much, dollar-wise, but a lot percentage-wise. I'm mainly asking out of curiosity.
