Re: A134 sonic upgrade

Thanks for the detailed responses.

I swapped the TL064CN and a TL062CP for TL074 and TL072 but did not hear a significant difference. I hear something in the high end, a tiny bit more detail but since the test is not blind I don't know if I am making that up. Technically I should hear a difference with unfiltered waveforms so I will stick with the TL07x until I can get a hold of some Burr-Brown opamps to try.
