RE: OP Amps, Whats Your Opinion?

Like anything else, it depends on the designer's skill in implementation. There are crappy sounding op-amp based products like there are crappy sounding products that use all discrete components.... and the other way around.

One of the best sounding phono stages I've had in my system used op-amps, high speed op-amps to be more precise, sometimes used as video amplifiers. It was the Graham Slee Era Gold V MM phono based on the Analog Devices AD817 op-amp.

My Cambridge 640p phono used op-amps and it sounded pretty mediocre. Go figure.
