Thanks for this complete answer.
Can I hear differences ? Is this worth the money ? The idea is to experiment without biases, using some elementaries circuits on well known system (altec atlantic, cabasse 311).
I envisage drawing some benches pcb (line amplifier, filter,...). At all I have amplifier with a final 4700uF.
I will take avantage of also testing opamps (may I leave my beloved 5534 ?
).
I learned in the past with J Hiraga that hear can be formed like taste with wine.
Hiraga is like an artist and obviously an idealist. I always sympathize with idealists.
Long live Hegel & Feuerbach!
It was about soundstage. Not parts.

@altec9440: Don't feed the troll. His life must be really sad, he is only attacking other people and nothing else.
Well, maybe he is right: All the sound engineers from major labels such Mercury, RCA, Telefunken, DG, Sony, Decca etc. are total idiots and he knows it better...
I don't think all those sound engineers are using substandard (at best) USB cables like yourself.
I have been paid to record audio. Am I a "professional"? I dunno.
I do know that pro audio is a lot about clients who bite. This guy is my professional hero:

The NE5534 is from medieval times. It's not a bad opamp, but seriously do yourself a favor and put a OPA2228 instead and wonder...
Is the Altec fullrange? Cos with fullrangers you will hear the differences very good. For many fullrange fans carbon resistors and PIO caps are life savers. My Dayton PS-220 8inch fullrangers did sound best with Siemens MKV oil caps desoldered from old german washing machines. The Silmics in the PSU helped also quiet a bit to get warmer mids and more textures.

You probably mean the OPA228.
Hmm. Thought your fondness for the Silmic 2 was a bit of a fluke, but once you add the MKV... that champion of dullness and wrong tonality... seems we don't share the same tastes after all.
Yes, correctly OPA228 (single). OPA2228 is the dual version. https://www.ti.com/product/OPA2228
You are right with the MKV sound but it was perfect for flattening the Dayton fullranger treble lift (soundwise).

Psychological memory is an exclusive property of human consciousness, without it mental representation and making categorical judgments would not be possible. Making judgments requires the presence of an antecedent condition to be compared to an object of intellect. A poor ability to make subjective evaluations in conjunction with a poor systematic ability to reproduce nuances puts you in the favorable position to opt for the cheapest and the most efficient solutions.

Altec Atlantic have a simple 6uF filter. May be worth to test with PIO or Polypro cap...
Thanks to point my medieval age
. NE or to be precise SA5534A version is old but, if I keep some in my drawers, I'm open to new references. OPA228 ? Reading back this thread, I notice that TI are you prefered devices 
With next curfew at 21H, I will have time to experiments until jan14 new year ! I will add caps and opamps to my christmas list
