Hi,> Douglas Self, the author of books on
> amplifier-construction,Are you talking about Douglas Self the author of ONE Book on Amplifier Design and selfstyled "debunker" of what he considers audiomythology by virtue of ignoring the majority of Audio RELEVANT measurements developed in the last 70 or so years and sticking to 1930's style frequency response and THD/2-tone IMD measurements as ONLY indicator of quality?
I guess you must.
> has made a comparing test, surprising results!
What surprises you? Simple THD tests with not even 2-tone IMD included. Big deal. But then, Mr. Self does not want to know why all these Op-Amp's sound different (because according to him they don't and the NE5532/5534 is perfect anyway) but to "prove" (not that this proof can withstand real scrutiny) that they don't and can't.
> I wish everyone would consider this comparing test.
I wish everyone would just ignore it and instead look at the Datasheets - they contain more usefull information.
Later T
PS, I admit Mr. Selfs militant and completely baseless (as in not being based on ANY facts) objectivist stance really ticks me off.
