Funny Thing about Opamps




When I was looking to upgrade the sound of the Infinity-supplied equalizer that goes with my RSIIb speakers, I ended up clipping out the single-ended MOSFET output buffer stage (fed by a MOSFET CCS) and building an opamp output stage using OPA827 opamps, and the result was excellent! I was able to eliminate the output coupling caps entirely due to the low DC offset of the 827, and the unit is much, much more transparent with the opamps than it was stock. In this case at least, the opamps were the superior-sounding technology.
