Sorry have to make a correction the original opamps were OPA2134 not OPA134 as I stated above and they are duals. I guess some op amps are singles like the OPA627 and OPA637. If you need to use these you have to have what I believe are called daughter boards which allow you to mount two of those chips on a circuit board which then plugs into the 8 pin socket. (yes thankfully the MH has sockets) I am thinking of changing out the op amp in my Creek OBH-11 but it is not socketed so I would have to de-solder and install a socket. Sounds dangerious with my skills ;^)
Anyone tried changing OPAMPS in Music Hall A25.2?
I have just chnaged the OPAMPS in my Music Hall A25.2 from the stock Burr-Brown OPA134 for some Burr-Brown OPA2107 units and holy shit there is difference in the sound. It is very noticable and very much better! The deliniation of instruments great, bass drive is far better, smoother treble and no more of that goofy midrange weirdness. I run Modified Klipsch Chorus II's and the bottom end just came to life. I am really suprised at the results! The opamps were $30 for the pair from digikey, they rip you hard core on shipping though $10 for like shipping a 3x5 inch box of air. (oh well) They did come pretty quickly.
