Op amp Rolling?

The OPA627 is one of the most faked opamps around. It's a really great opamp, just make sure you get it from a "Texas Instruments" approved distributors. Or you will end up with a fake and say it's so so and nothing to write home about.
These type statements regarding the sound I would bet are from owners that have gone looking for the best priced ones and got fakes instead.

I replaced original opamps in my Consonance Reference 2.2 CDP with Opa 627's in Browndog adaptors. They made a really big improvement and were worth the price.

I used the Opa 627 in brown dog adapters in my Shanling CDP years ago. Really nice upgrade with improved clarity and soundstage. Sadly the CDP retired itself...  I still have the opamps here. I think I have 4 sets.  PM me.

Yes they were standard fitment in many Shanlings, especially the earlier T100 4 transformer R2R players, they sounded very good. One of Thorsten Loesch’s (AMR) favourite players. Today demand top dollar used.

Thank you for your thoughts. I’m looking at replacing 3 Texas Instruments op amps (TL082) with Burr Brown OPA2134s.  I think the numbers on the specs make sense—at least where I shouldn’t do damage. Any thoughts??
