I'm speaking only from hearsay. I have a tube of 4558's, but all one
type and can't make a side by side comparison, but my understanding is 
that the holy grail of 4558's is the JRC4558 with no date code.
I don't have a clue as to what the date code looks like. I know
that these are commanding high prices at various places on the web.
Jack Orman's general thrust was that placing a small resistor in series
with the parallel diodes in the feedback path of the opamp could
eliminate 
the perceived differences in various makes of 4558's when used in a
common distortion circuit.

*Help*! Need more modules. Whatever is in stock. Must have more.

I only have four unbuilt MOTM modules and I don't know what I will 
do come Saturday...

BTW, would it help to send back any of the packaging? All those
nicely labeled "MOTM-xxx RESISTORS", "MOTM-xxx CAPACITORS",
etc? Maybe my wife has finally converted me to the ultimate 
recycling fanatic, we have more recycling than trash.

I asked Paul the same question and he didn't want them back. I would mind
paying a few dollars to send them back for reuse, but he says they get
wrinkled and don't look as good as the new ones. (I personally don't care
how the bags look, but I suppose some people do care)

Yeah, now what am I going to do with all these nice labeled bags.....

I use mine over again.  I stick new blank labels on them and use them to
keep many of my parts that I keep on hand.  I have a large variety of
resistors sorted and labeled in the small bags along with other common
parts.  I often put the source and part number from where I got certain
parts on the bag too so I know where to get them when I run low.
