I looked at the Arcam post. Of course more top end was realized! look at the differences in slew rate. OOPS! I was told not to lecture about slew rate. Carry on in your 20v/us world and just act like the Arcam guy doesn't exist. Don't worry about those micro transients since you can't measure them.
I truly believe that the AD825 is a better IC. Where did you get a dual?
There isn't. It's dualed with Browndog.
May be this sharp slope can explain the "viel-ness" of OPA2134?

Oh ok. The one with more top will be the correct one. Then you get to hear the noisy rectifier diodes and cheap resistors. New territory to suss out the gremlins.
Oh, c'mon, diodes, if you can't hear the guys at the power plant player poker, the poor amp is definitely not revealing enough

What would be the explanation for that spike at 2k for the AD825?
Believe what you want. I have looked this straight in the face. I didn't think it could be until I swapped out diodes. There is a reason for Hexfreds.Oh, c'mon, diodes, if you can't hear the guys at the power plant player poker, the poor amp is definitely not revealing enough![]()

Worrying about things that cannot be measured or otherwise be verified is symptomatic of either a mental disease, or its close relative which shall not be discussed on this site.

Dilbert is outdated. These days problems are solved through the "cost cuts" method. I.e. removing the seat altogether.

But - do you snub them??? 😉 🙄

Back off my bike shorts. They're my only chance of being relevant in the future. 😉
Arbitrary specification requirements here and in other threads are all forms of the tail wagging the dog. Largely benign, fortunately.

Am i missing out by using op amps, am i to somehow believe stuff like this? [Review] Sparkos Labs - Discrete Op amps SS3601
Or is it just more snake oil like it seems?

who knows how much knowledge, testing, measuring and rebuilding until all is good they done, + it works in class a so probably there is some improovment but question is is it worth 80 dollars.

Ah you admit you are a joke!
Nope. Here is a heavy coming around.The only part he got wrong is the "won't hurt too much". Au contraire! The more speed the better. Salt with RF layout techniques and the sky is the limit.Ah you admit you are a joke!

"On the amp SR issue -- 100v/usec seems like a better new minimum 'standard' for HiEnd. Even higher wont hurt anything too much."

Hilarious stuff, lots of nonsense.
My devices use two pole compensation which is impossible to do in monolithic op amps since it takes 2 capacitors. Capacitors are very hard to make inside of ICs.
12V/usec slew rate won't win any friends. The schottky clamps across the input don't help with slew either.

Well the dilbert was published on a monday and today is sunday, so either you are the funny or your humour has fallen completely flat.
I have a high slew rate power amp. Can't say it does anything amazing.
