Orange Dual Discrete OP-Amp

The Dual Discrete op-amp is specially designed for audio and is among the most musical sounding dual discrete op-amps out there. It is available in DIP 8 format and can be used in any CD player, DAC, or preamplifier that currently runs DIP 8 based IC dual op-amp types.

One of the most used brand of amps by stoner rock bands, 4:20 long, today is 4/20. Illuminati confirmed?

I'd like to hear an A/B with a TL072

[subjectt.change]

This is a TL072 replacement? When do we get a Klon Centaur clone with this?

Oh dear, I was hoping this was an April fools joke. Alas more marketing.... I am sure the audiofools will love this one though. I just want to add, I am not trolling, Adrian designs some of the best amps in the business...

Have you always hated modern op amps that deliver stellar performance in all categories? Do you feel a desire deep down in your heart to make your expensive amplifier sound like crap? Well, fret no more! The new Orange Dual Discrete Op Amp will give you all the hum, noise and distortion you ever wanted! All for the low, low price of £42!

Nice to see a bit of love for the 2SK2145!

Laugh all you want, bought two of these for my creative ZXR, replaced 2x sparko labs ss3602, also tried burson V6s classic, those are the most musical opamps I've ever heard.
Kudos to those guys, gonna order more when I'LL have more money.
Review and pictures soon on head-fi.org

Adrian, bless you. I was just looking for DOA's for a recording console and this fits the ticket and more.

Hi Guys, loving my discretes. Using them in a couple of DIYRE HC-1 headphone amp kits I've built for me and mates. Running with 18V currently, have you tested to 24V yet?

[jstaffordpac]

Would love to learn everything Adrian Emsley knows!!

[kcoffey]

Using this op amp in my Aune X8 DAC and like it better than the Sparkos Labs. Definitely more musical to me.

[jonathanwapner]

Should I replace the OP amp in my CR60C with this one?

[benadams]

What is the maximum RMS output current? Can it e.g. drive a headphone? Or is it limited to 600R impedance?

[shinobi]

how many "you know" you have said?

[cottonwhite]

So I’m new to this gear and what application it even serves..can it be used in a cars stereo? And should or could you install it into like say any of the lunchbox amps? Or guitar amps in general? I’m a bit lost and just super curious.

[MrStevelovesguitars]

hey make some mod kits for your exsisting guitar amps, make some thing for them

[richwiskin]

Really surprised at some of the shitty comments below. I swapped these for the ubiquitous 5532 in a line stage and it is exactly the improvement he said; a bit more musical and a bit more detailed. I don't think audiofools are chasing opamp gear period because they will have read opamps are terrible in the hifi press which is obviously where all the electronics experts work . Further, what's shit about SMD? £40 is bugger all compared to fancy mains leads and all that other crap out there (to Naim a few).

[silviosantapaola]

i have no idea what he was talking about

[Ab]

How does it compare with Burson? Are you planning to produce the single version too?
