Better Options than Stacking Sockets?

[Elso Kwak]

Nonsense!

Elso, look at the title of the thread.
I just tried to answer the question, don't you agree that it's better to avoid adaptors?

No

You know, bass suffers when the caps are far, and the OPA627 doesn't like that at all! And then they say it has untight bass...

No, do not agree, nonsense IMHO

No

Ok, then make your adaptor, put it on the elevator and press 10th floor. Leave the caps on the basement.

No, do not agree, nonsense IMHO

IYHO.

Exaggerating is also an Art. The stackfoot is only 1.2cm high (less than half an inch)

That's a mile. Too far.

Elso, you don't accept that adaptors are a serious compromise, there's nothing more to discuss, you won't convince me otherwise.

A mile = 1/2 Inch? Since when? hahahahahaha

there's nothing more to discuss,......

We finally agree on that!

Carlos,

There's two options:

1. - he really doesn't get it

2. - he's pulling your leg

From post 11 this has become an endless discussion.

Evil Ghosts?

Carlos,

Option 3:
Stackfoot with adapter board for 2 OPA627s works perfectly as IV-converter.

Footnote : I do understand what carlosfm means but I feel he sees evil ghosts on his way

I have a CDP with dual opamps for output buffers and I want to use two single DIP opamps with a single to dual Brown Dog Adapter for each channel. I need to raise the Brown Dog Adapters above the capacitors next to the buffer opamps. I could stack sockets but I'm trying to think of a better approach. Any ideas?

Let's get back to the plot..................................



Move the cap to underside of pcb or

.. mount vertically?

Option 4

Carlos,

Option 4: carlosfm is pulling my leg

No Elso we are not kidding. SMT to DIP conversion sockets do degrade the performance of the device and it is very important that the cap is on the pins. Yes 1/2 cm can make quite a difference.

OK, Dan, you hear more than me

I have been thinking about an adapter with a ground-fill and decoupling caps at the supply pins but abandoned the idea as the PCB got much bigger from the relatively big caps.

Please do note I have extensive decoupling at the socket though.

Please also note the adapter I made is DIP to DIP dual to single opamp. (Two OPA627 instead of one OPA2604) (Not SMT)
