Re: ASR drift

2004-06-28 by Richard Brewster

Nice report, John! Thanks. I am just about to build my two ASR's. I
am following your advice and using CA3140's and soldering these in, as
well as the 4052 chips. Do you see any problem with using sockets for
the TL071, TL074, and CD4024? It seems to me these are less critical,
and I do like the option to change chips easily.

What made of chips did you use? I didn't know there were many choices
available for TL074.

I am using:

Texas Instruments: TL071ACP, TL074CN, CD4024BE, CD4052BE
Intersil CA3140AE (DIP, could not find metal can anywhere)
