If you want the mirror the OpAmp distortion from the original units for authenticity/character, it makes sense to use the TL071, no?

- shermantanktop 2y agoBased on my experience with vintage music electronics, it wouldn’t be good enough to use a component that just sounds bad like a TL071; it needs to be a TL071 so that the marketing copy can claim “vintage-correct parts.” At that point you are engineering with a completely different set of tradeoffs than would be expected for a modern ground-up design effort.
- bratwurst3000 2y agothats true. I forgot to mention i mean electronics from mid 90s onward. Even in higher class electronics. for example many of those 2000 euro upwards dj mixer use tl071 and even high end dac and soundcards. I replaced some of them with good opas and burrbrown opamps and for me it made , even if not big, audible changes to the better. But this could be my imagination. whatever i prefere some opamps in the range from 2-4 bucks. even if its only for the feeling…didnt measure it.
