Hi everyone,
First post here and it is the reason I found the htguide just yesterday. I'm hoping someone out there more experienced in the audiophilia way can give me an answer (google is pretty slack about questions that don't involve movies or celebrities). What is the function of the op-amp in an integrated amplifier?
Now let me explain why I ask, replacing the op-amps in a cd player can result in a fair change to the sonic performance of said player and these op-amps are available for a few bucks so if you are after a small change to a player you are "almost" happy with then this is a good (and not particularly expensive) direction to investigate.
I recently discovered that my integrated also has an op-amp, (I have no electrical or instrument experience so I am assuming that all integrated amps have them, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) so can I change out this op-amp chip and (for a small number of $$) change the sonic performance of my amp? And of course, if I can and do, would the change be large enough to notice?
Cheers Everyone!!
