RE: OP Amps, Whats Your Opinion?

You really can't generalize. Sorry.

Op Amps have gotten better and also more specialized so that helps. Implementation still rules however so it really boils down to the goals and competance of the designer.

I can tell you how to do some tests if you have a scope and Fn generator that can sort out some issues, but the real bottom line for just about all of us is to listen. If it sounds good in your system, you're in business. If it sounds bad, well that's interesting but try to find something that doesn't if you can. If most everything sounds off in your system you need to try to figure out why. It can be surprising sometimes...

As far as audiophiles making pronouncements from on high concerning the "sound" of this or that technology or part, take it with a grain of salt. Ask yourself 'how do they know where the problem really lays?' How do they know it's just one problem?

To thine own ears be true...
