Any Digital Impressions of the Caiman yet?

Hi Steve,
An op-amp is an Operational Amplifier,basically a small square black thing that looks like a silicon chip,with little metal legs coming out of it.In the Caiman,these are plugged into the circuit board via a socket,instead of being soldered directly to the circuit board in as in most applications.This allows you to easily swap them without doing any soldering so you can try different ones as different types give you a different sound.You need to try in your own system with different op-amps to see what sound you get.They are easily available from ebay and are mostly pretty cheap.
