I'm mostly using JH13 Pro's at the moment (Honeymoon Period) there seems to be a synergy between them and the P3+ set up with OPA132's in L/R. The 132's also suit my Grado 325i's though. I'm still swinging between the LT1363's and the OPA132's, guess I can have two favorite can't I?

nah, it's not allowed! not in this thread anyway

@Andrea: stop changing your mind all the bloody time already

I quoted you saying a little while ago that LT1364 was the 8th world wonder..

anyway, I will try the 1677/1678/1028/1363 in a week or so. if they sound any better than the 1364 as ±9V AK4396 LPF, I might have a seizure though

 

[SpudHarris]

I tried the 1677's last night as there was so much love for them and in my set up at least the 1363's were far better in every way. Just goes to show that there are so many differences and anomalies to take into account, the only way to know for sure if an Op Amp is for you is to try it for yourself

At least he's not changed his mind on the OPA132UA's

I replaced the OPA132U and OPA2132PA in my Pimeta V1 with LME49710HA and LME49720HA. So far I like what I hear, the sound is cleaner with more detail. On some tracks I heard details I had not heard before, to double check this I put the OPA's back in. Sure enough I was able to hear these details once I was looking for them, they were muffled and not as present as with the LME's.
I should mention that my source is a Sony D-NF340 Discman.

THe LME's are some great opamps when used for buffer and I/V. They seem to be getting great reviews from many around here using various circuits. One of my favorites in a dual LME49710HA module that I use for a buffer in a few circuits.

I posted a while back asking whether it was worth it to swap the NE5532 in the line-out in my amp for the OPA2134PA that was sitting around- wow!

-Better soundstaging for sure
-More clarity and energy- I'm listening live rather than through headphones!

Just initial impressions here. I'll swap the 2134 for an LT1364 that I have coming in a couple days, expecting good things out of that chip.

I am waiting for my TO-99 single to dual adapters to arrive so that I can set up my dual LME49710HA module.

The 5532, is a very generic opamps but it has been used a great amount of audio gear for a long time. The 2134 has better specs then the 5532 IIRC.
Well, I hope you have better results with the LT1364 then I did as I found it quite unremarkable compared to some others. Let us know what you find.

A couple other guys in the forum have them now also and they confirm what I found. They are improved over the LME49720HA, with better bass extension and improved soundstage. Their words not mine.
Please post your impressions whe you get the units built and tested.

It's worth noting that the 1364 (dual) 1363 (single) has had mixed reviews here, possibly due to different applications or circuits. Personally I'm still loving the 1363's in my P3+ headphone amp, I haven't rolled them for anything else in about 4 days, I think they are just superb. I hope you find the same with your 1364, leeperry swears by that chip so I don't think you'll be disapointed....

Just received my 1364 samples. I'll try to post my initial impressions tonight (CET). Dunno what to expect really, but either way it'll be an interesting addition to our communal knowledge-base

[ROBSCIX]

Just depends on what you after. The Moon is quite natural but has some "tubey" flavor going on. Try some of the tried and true opamps, the LM4562NA..OPA2134, OPA2107...etc. These all offer different signatures and only you can decide which is best for you. What opamp is in there stock? -this may give us a better idea of the requirements.

Few of us tried them in other circuits. I wouldn't say the chip is bad, but personally I think there are much better chips then the LT1364 and of course the circuit plays a large part in the overall signature also.
Some may like them some may not, no different then any other opamp tested here.

THANK YOU for your reply

I have 2 LM4562 now in my Zero with my OPA-Moon, but I try to find some single opamps to put with the 2 dual dip adapters I've bought on ebay
