Re: Philips NE5532AN OP Amp ?

I find the graphs shown to be very biased. On most of the graphs he goes to 50 khz and more. On the 5532, he cuts the readings off at 10 khz. Way below what we consider audio. The same holds true as far as expanding the graphs vertically with the .0001 to .01 bar measurements. Most of the graphs look biased toward favoring the 5532 IMO.
As far as my listening tests, mostly on FM tuners and Sony, Denon CD players. I've replaced 5532 (Magnum Dynalabs, Sony CD and others), 4558 Kenwoods and others with OPA2132,2134 and OPA2604s. These op-amps (to me) really "flesh out" the midrange and sweeten the highs. The 5532 always had a dry, lifeless midrange. Just one opinion. jim...
