I think I provided adequate reasons to suggest that it's not necessarily so...
At most you may say that all of my preferences are directly related to my particular music tastes. Then again, audio is subjective in nature, so what did you expect
No problem at all, I just wanted to highlight that this is YOUR personal preference, in YOUR application circuit, with YOUR music, in YOUR system, for reasons YOU only know.
A newcomer here could by mistake take these personal opinions as somehow having any value for other people with other music, other systems, other topologies.

But as I myself wouldn't take anything read on a forum as gospel, so I would expect others to do with me
You are a gentleman!

Surely there all interchangeable! Nothing like a 1000V/us device with no ground plane and poor supply decoupling.
As far as me, I've compared the LME49710 (NA and HA) and LT1028 extensively, and the LT1028 is what I'd take anyday. Be sure to try the ACN8 if you choose the DIP package.
It was just an example of applications where one OpAmp can be better than other (I/V versus preamplifier).
NJM2068 has 0.001% TDH at gain 20dB, 0.56uV noise, 6V/uS SR, 5.5MHz GBW.
OPA2134 has 0.000008% TDH at gain 1 (would be some 0.0008% at 20db), 1.2uV noise, 20V/uS SR, 8MHz GBW.
In a pure analog stage, 2068 is slightly better, but on an I/V stage 2134 is better. You are testing the OpAmps in preamplifier...

J'ai tout compris
I'm thinking that I wouldn't mind trying the AD8599, although I already know from reliable sources that it's not as transparent as the LT1028.
yeah, did you read my last posts on head-fi?
anyway yeah the best combination so far for me is 2*1364>1*Earth...I've tried the opposite but the dual 1364 kills the SS and the Earth micro-details!
tomorrow I'll try 2*Earth>2*1363, so I'll finally get to hear if 2*singles are night and day w/ 1*dual...but it very much seems to be the case! the SS is just beyond words on the Earth
Ideally, I'll use 4*1363 and 2*Earth on the Claro Halo soundcard...it's got the AK4396, bit-perfect drivers and a well shielded 4 layers PCB
I'll also try the Sun V2 replacing the 1363 or the Earth..but well, I don't think that'd work.
I will also try tomorrow 2*Earth>1*LT1028CS8...if I like what I hear I'll try the LT1028ACN8 on browndog's, to do 4*LT1028ACN8>2*Earth...but the 1364 gives a magic sound to vocals, and the Earth embelishes it tremendously

well, did you try LT1678? it's nothing to write home about.
anyway, LT advised me these parts:
I don't think you can top the 136x...they have that magic touch on vocals, I wish I knew wth it does...but it does it!

What would the LT1678 have to do with the LT1632? They're both rail to rail but for the rest entirely different opamps.
peranders, I just like to talk about the sound of opamps... can you cope with this?
