Op Amp rolling - ASR view

[WΞS...]

So being that there are MANY people claiming sound differences when swapping out op amps, what do you think of ASRs view on the subject?

Basically, after performing all thier usual tests they have concluded that it isn't possible for an op amp swap to make any audible difference what so ever.

I assure you that I tried both the ZA3 and the V3 mono with different op-amps and a new sonic universe opens up. I posted an article about the muses 02 and sparkos test

I plan to try it out too

I have swapped op amps in my V3 monos, Sparkos and Burson combination certainly sound slightly more transparent than stock...very subtle differences but definitely changes the presentation.

I found the definitive solution in my 2 mono v3 by putting 2 sparkos in the L and R channels in each one and 1 muses 2 which to tell the truth changes the sound very little but since I had them in excess they worked very well. I'm still curious to hear the version with the Bursons but having the Sparkos that sound very very good I don't feel the need to spend this money for a simple test

Let us know when you do...

I literally swapped the ne5532 in one za3 with opa2134 and switched between two amps with 2 different op amps and heard a huge difference, what is up with the op amp haters saying it does nothing??? Is it because their speakers are of poor quality and they cant hear it??

and the opa2134 is a $10 Op Amp. It really makes a big difference? most I see ppl rolling are $100 +
