Anyone experience any Op amp rolling?

I recall that being a big thing 6 or 7 years ago when that Burson amp was popular...for about 5 minutes. 

About two years ago I was doing some mods to my Hagerman Bugle 3 phono stage, and definitely experimented with several in different op amp positions of that circuit.

Other than upgrading the single op amp in a cheap Pyle phono section, the Hagerman is my first and only foray into OA rolling. It’s not so different than tube rolling in that there are subtle differences, and they can sound different in different circuits. Like tubes, they all have a range of voltages and functions that they excel and waiver in. It was fun and educational, and not as expensive as tube rolling!

The reply thing isn't working.  gdaddy1...are you saying you actually rolled yours?  One thing I've wondered about is power.  Is it affected by being in class A mode?  Can you comment on differences in the ones you tried?  I've seen those you mentioned and was curious if worth it.  Thanks for the post and in advance for a reply.  :-)

@bbarten   Yes, currently experimenting. I find class 'A' mode to be the most dynamic and punchy. In January, at the audio show in Tampa, there was quite a buzz about Geshelli labs having a socketed DAC the J2. Easy plug in and out.

I recently came across a video where iiWi put a Sparkos ss3602 an Aune X8 DAC and reported that it boosted the performance to the level of $1000 DACS. My curiosity was peaked. I purchased an Aune X8 that also has an open socket to easily change op amps.

Yes, the performance is WAY better. I'm curious how the best ss2590 Sparkos performs. Supposed to be even better. Also the new Burson V7 Vivid. These op amps push these modestly priced units into a whole new level.

I put Sparkos SS3602 op amps (5 of them) into my Fosi Audio ZA3 amp. It made a BIG difference! The stock op-amps made it sound pretty bad.

@gdaddy1  That's awesome on the class A part!  I've heard a lot of good things about Geshelli Labs.  Their stuff is quite different it seems.  I might have to bite the bullet on at least one (pair) of the Sparkos or Burson chips.  Maybe the Sparkos first based on @olds1959special 's comment.  Thanks olds!

Thanks for the link!

@bbarten   Be aware that the Burson V7 are supposed to be even better than the Sparkos 3602 and the same price. (if they fit size wise.)

I wonder what the difference is between V7 Burson and the Sparkos ss2590 top of the line. Please check those out. I'll know very shortly. 

@gdaddy1  Thanks so much.  Will do!  I'll prolly get both and compare.
