RE: OP Amps, Whats Your Opinion?

Unfortunately opamps have drfifted to SMD technology ( Surface mount), For cerain application they are perfectly fine, In fact Rowland Research use LS opamps for his amps (at least at one time) claiming that their distortion specs are lower than what he could achieve with discrete components.

The issue I have with many opamps is that the traces are miniscule and thus ultimate dynamics often suffer as a result. That can occur with even opamp volume controls, which sometimes overload given a high input. I'm sure designers are working to alleviate this issue, but I remain a bit skeptical.
