Is it just me, or is it that Prodigy HD2 seems to be always the target for this kind of mods?

Over at Head-Fi he's been banned for quite a while. I think there have been several issues like having strong oppionions of things he's never heard and sending uncalled-for PMs to members (including myself). He's shown up again and again under different aliases until he started these threads here.

Maybe we should have a "The Wild Opamp Rollers Thread" where everything's allowed.

Banned for liking opamps? Some of them sound damned good. One really has to work hard to beat the top shelf ones like AD797 and OPA827.

Everytime someone gets banned it's not a a good time, we're going to miss something.

Obviously I can understand why DIY Audio moderators banned Andrea (like moderators all over the web it seems...) but it still makes me blue...

Well, I hope that was the reason. because if He got banned just because He likes a kind of amp...that is uncalled for!. I like gainclones LM3875 from Peter Daniel (Audiosector) and I also love my new nxv200 amp kits from Anthony (Aussie amplifiers). so if you see me I got banned...Now you know is because I said I like these amps lol. I see you later (I hope lol).

hello i`m having problems with lt1028 i picked up today

they are working in a usb soundcard i designed and built (custom pcb etc.)
the circuit looks like this: pcm2706->tda1543->opa604 i/v stage (set up like in the datasheet) -> 2.2uF wima mkp -> 49k dale / 50k shunt pot -> lt1028

previously i had opa602 and it worked flawlessly but sounded not so good
lt1028 sound really great but at certain volume levels (changed by the shuntpot) i get a little hiss or distortion in the background and it gets on my nerves

supply voltage +/- 15V
3.3uf+0.1uF both wimas from +V/-V to gnd as near as possible
gain of 8
non inverting configuration

any suggestions? i tried putting a 22pf np0 ceramic between ni input and output and it seems it works but at the same time it seems to kill everything i like in the sound this opamp produces

any ideas? i can post schematics/photos if it helps
