RE: OP Amps, Whats Your Opinion?

The phono section in my pre-amp is an op-amp based unit. It has been replaced with a discrete, tube-based unit and the difference is night and day, with the discrete circuit sounding much better. Though this is comparing apples to oranges, I think that op-amps are still more limited sonically than discrete circuits, ceteris paribus!
