As per my other thread I ordered a variety of pairs of opamps from Farnell and the standard delivery is free - the only thing is a minimum order of £20 for credit cards. E-mail said all posted last night. Not cumbersome at all![]()

Well I never thought I'd find myself doing this sort of thing!
I always thought the type of people that busied themselves with things like valve rolling, speaker cable rolling, interconnect rolling, etc simply did not have enough to do in work.
But lo! I find myself even more work shy....
...... op amp rolling!!!

Just remember to give them some time if they are new chips, and if you use headphones remember both opamps have a say in the sound. You may even get tempted to remove the MLC 5/6 caps to see what that does, or try the cap mod in it's place. You're through the looking glass now mate.
I have placed 2/3 orders under £20 before and had no problem. Well apart from the credit card company thinking one was a fraud test payment. That could have been on my debit card though.

Hi, as English is not my 1st language, I am not sure what would mean "You're through the looking glass now mate" in previous context? (I did search for that phrase on Google, but still do not get it).
Anyway, would you suggest removing those caps mods first or shall I try 4-5 different OpAmps first?
Cheers
MLC5/6 affect the soundstage and focal presence. If you remove them you get a wider soundstage with a slightly laid back midrange.
