Post Info

Arrived in the discrete opamp. I installed successfully, better than I thought. The first seconds is shown something different than before. After two hours I’m sure that better than any IC!

And even where it is 100 hours? I’m not what you know so well! Congratulations to the opamp. Then think about other ways to upgrade.

Sincerely, Peter
