The Opamp thread

[PushTT]

Ordered it the way i order most of the exotic stuff, via friend in Japan. Akizuki in Tokyo. They sell them as soldered pins adapter or as a kit for customer to solder themselves. But chip as is, is soldered on pcb anyway since it's a tiny one. Muses03 was nice sounding, a bit thin, so never got to be kept in collection. Muses02 was great in a little number of devices, now the youngest one needs to show it's colours.

if anyone here is interested, I am selling TWO Burson V5i-D (Duals) op-amps in the classifieds. Theyre going for $50 for the pair...the original retail price is $115

I’d like to mod mass kobo amp to accept bigger op amps externally and thus I’d need some dip8 extender wires (possibly longer than 5cm). Is it even okay prolonging such connection? Doesn’t it increase the feedback loop and affects the parameters? Will appreciate help and info

I put some Oracle II 02 in my FX-audio tube-03. Very smooth and airy highs. Open sound. Not for bass heads, but still present enough.

has anyone tried the oracle III op-amps?

I find MUSES03 pretty thick and rich. What device were you running yours in?

Got those 05's yet?

I did also installed, but followed different direction: installed LM4562 on the FX-Audio T3 (also changed tubes to GE5654) and placed the Oracle II 02's on the Fosi V3 amp - this combination works well for my audio taste, specially for jazz, Bossa music.

I swapped in a Lme49720 , I think the original was a copy because the pins were so soft
My amp is a portable Topping Nx3s

I have only read a few recent pages of this long thread, so I apologise if I ask a question that has already been asked several times.

I want to buy a few pairs of opamps to try out on a headphone amplifier. These include models mentioned very often on this forum too: Muses02, Muses03, Oracle II 02...

Having no experience, I have no idea where to buy them.
First of all I have no idea of the price order of these components, so I can't tell when they are too high or too low.
I also don't know how to avoid fake products.

I would choose a store like Aliexpress because you can find everything, but it's really hard for me to find reliable sellers.
I've also looked at other online stores that are certainly more trustworthy, but they don't always have all the models I'm looking for in their catalogue and I often find prices that seem very high to me.

Can anyone give me (even in private) some advice?
Thank you very much!

The UK is not the best place to shop for EU countries: as it is no longer part of the union, it charged me more than a third of the value of the goods in my last purchase.
Buying several times on Aliexpress, strangely enough, I have never had these problems.... (maybe because the taxes are included? luck?).

This shop is in France. No customs with Italy.
In my experience it has always proven to be reliable.
It sells original components, although I don't know
if you will find everything you need.

Being in Italy, I also would recommend this one. I bought there my Oracle IIs and LM4562 and a few things more, no complaints and fast delivery to Portugal.
