WTB Nisshinbo Linear Voltage Regulators -15V 1.5A 3 Terminal (NJM7915FA)

Wanted to buy
Maybe because Mr. Witt wants explicitly that version as the positive regulator is by the same brand and of the same series. Maybe they turned out the be lower noise than the cheap 25 cent versions. Maybe it its about better perceived quality that is preferred instead of choosing cheap as most important parameter. Maybe it is just esthetically. Maybe Mr. Witt has a psychological thingie that makes him like pronouncing "Nisshinbo" as mantra over and over again. Just some reasons why someone may wish for a specific version.

If the 25 cent versions would have been a good option then this thread would not exist. Not every 78xx and 79xx measure the same. Some excel in lower noise than usual.

Hi,
I'm aware about the cheap things, but the other channel has them and my buddy want them (for the repairing of his pre amp)!

ShinNihonMusen have merged with Nisshinbo.
I have tried njm5534d and muses03d opamp which came from ShinNihonMusen and both sounded nice.
Muses05 had to be released but due to semiconductor, It's been postponed.

Hi Carsten, I was at the antique market today and had in the whole time in my head:"Nisshinbo, nisshinbo, nisshinbo". I suggest if you start with children you'll already now the name of the firstborn.

"ShinNihonMusen Nisshinbo" is even beter 🙂

Nisshinbo-san, it could be an idea to replace regulators positive and negative in both channels for the quite good and possibly even better Onsemi versions. Optical/esthetical symmetry is one of the ways we perceive as beauty (I once read this is the case with female faces).

ShinNihonMusen Nisshinbo!

The beauty of face often comes from difference between L and R when both side
force gathering center.
Human body is different between R and L.
Right handed and Left handed etc.
There for the force come into center of body.
Completely symmetrical face is often boring.
I bet a Nisshinbo crypto coin will do very well 😎
Ah, don't laugh my little volunteering.
