"How do you know that they aren't just putting back parts equivalent to what the original designers selected before "value engineering" was applied by non-engineers in the purchasing department?"
Hi Tony,
In the case of the MiniMax this is pretty fair assessment. The 5534 and 5532 are pretty much the standard good sounding basic op-amp that many manufactures use. Even a $6500 Levinson uses what would be deemed a pretty inexpensive op-amp.
"I know for a fact that this used to go on in audio equipment in the 60's or 70's as an associate of mine's father was in charge of purchasing at a large kit manufacturer. "
Very interesting. If I may ask, what company?
regards
Bob
