RE: burson audio op amps

Posted by madisonears on December 23, 2016 at 19:37:40:
Well, that's one way to ensure you spend A LOT more money. As far as improving the sound, I don't know if that will be accomplished. These discrete opamp people do not publish any specs. All you have to go on is ad copy and testimonials, which are always suspect. I know specs don't tell the whole story, either, but I don't understand how one can throw money around in such a gamble. Other than expense, what is it, exactly, that makes a discrete opamp sound better? I am NOT an objectivist, but I am a realist.

Anyone care to discuss discrete opamps and how they improve the sound in a particular application?

Peace,
