Mod your Beresford 7520

[Gazjam]

Which leads me to....

How to determine which ones are stable/where to find such a list?

That said, maybe you want to add something constructive. For example,
what do you think about the remaining opamp choice options?

I'll think you find that Stan is the one guy who has went "above and beyond" in adding something "constructive".....

We're lucky to have him on here, he doesn't need to contribute the way he does - he just believes in his product and the "little guy", which is why he does what he does.

Your new to the forum Mate, just chill out a bit
Its all good.

No, not an obstacle.
The way you phrased your suggestion seemed to indicate you were willing to supply them for me to test.

Hm, yes, that's true, one can read it as an offer, though it's just a simple question. You asked for more options, this one to me seems to be a candidate
so far. Because it's just once tested here, though recommended by that user. In this thread already, if you browse back.

Say, is someone here waiting for me to sieve my own links and make a list?
I guess anonye can do that for himself and by that get a more accurate
picture of those threads and tests opinions?

Go and knock yourself out then.

Go and knock yourself out then.

Bad mood?

Bad mood?

Not at all. "knock yourself out" means go ahead and do it.

I go away for one day and turns into a bitchfest!!!

Chill dudes!!!!

Is this the first AoS fallout? Wooh!, we're going to become that headphone place and start accusing people of impersonations!




I'd just like someone electronically more knowledgable and financially braver than me to suggest something I can easily buy off ebay and plug into the 7520 without requiring soldering or brains, something that has the clarity of the 4032 but a bit more "oomph" and the natural vocals of the 4562 without the bass problems - that's why I 'm reading this thread. Fallouts are just the entertaining garnish!

PS. Jon1 - "everybody on this forum contributes in some form or other" - how dare you suggest I'm a useful member of this community!!!
(MEMO TO HEAD-HONCHOS: WE NEED A PROPER ROLLING EYES SMILEY!!! - took me yonks to find that rubbish one, though its better than the supplied one)

With all the 7520's out there I'm amazed nobody has tested a load of this stuff

Stans already done the hard bit designing the thing, you'll have to share mods if your wanting to squeeze that last ounce out of it

Thought I’d add my opamp experiences with the THS4032 and LT1364’s. My comments are based on using the 7520 as a digital preamp connected directly to mono block power amps through to speakers.

Based on the overwhelming early favouritism for the 4032’s I promptly ordered a pair of the latest lowered Tirna 4032’s, before learning that using two such 4032’s “may” cause some technical problems. As such I have not attempted to use the 4032 pair together at this time. I can confirm that these latest lowered Tirna 4032’s fit nicely in my 7520 without touching the lid. Being cautious I have also insulated the lid just to be on the safe side.

The THS4032’s are truly awesome. Great in every aspect. A true all rounder, giving a fuller and somewhat “conservative” warm and smooth, but still detailed, accurate sonic signature.

Now the LT1364’s are a very different and surprising package! (I chose to try these rather than the current second favourite LM4562’s as I’d interpreted the 4562’s to be similar to, but maybe not as good as, the 4032’s?) So for something quite different……..these LT1364’s are seriously exciting! They give that feeling of wild youthful exuberance rather than mature conservative class! They provide remarkable detail, so much so that it is difficult not to frequently come back to them for that added dimension. I can also add that I have not experienced the HF ringing or brightness that some have mentioned.

From the many diverse comments to date, I can only conclude that opamp preferences and sonics must be very system dependant. Regardless of what one reads, you need to try them for yourself in your own system.
