IC op amps are dead. And we killed them. Op amps are a key component for processing and amplifying audio signals. They can be found in virtually all audio gear in the form of tiny integrated circuits (IC's) like the one laying on its back in the picture. They also come with all of the pitfalls and shortcomings that IC op amps have, like limited power dissapation and crummy compensation capacitors. Discrete op amps do not have these limitations, and are a vastly superior op amp for amplifying audio signals than their IC counterparts are. They can run much higher power, have much deeper class A bias, and deliver a much more realistic and detailed sound. Discrete op amps also permit the use of high quality compensation capacitors, and allow for two pole compensation schemes which are impossible to implement in IC designs. All of this translates into a more detailed and engaging listening experience with better imaging and soundstaging than IC op amps can deliver. In short, discrete designs are the best op amp for audio. Op amp upgrading how-to video. This video will explain the ins and outs of discrete op amps, what they are, how to install them, and why they are superior to IC op amps that your gear is currently using. Taking your gear to the next level. Discrete op amp installation in most gear is simple, requires no soldering, and is plug and play. Simply remove the IC op amps from their sockets, install the discretes in their place, and then prepare yourself for audio bliss. The explainer video above illustrates the process and explains why discrete op amps are the best op amp for amplifying audio signals.
