Good point about the caps. Since the LM6172 is stable without extra caps I'll put the 825 modules back in without them.
As the 825 is only avilable in a monolithic surface mount package, the module vs chip comparo is the only way to compare these two devices in my player. Let the 'chips' fall where they may (Ho,Ho).By the way, one further observation - with the 6172 I notice that I am able to concentrate more on how a performer is playing/singing rather than the 'audiophile' aspects such as depth/imaging etc. These later aspects are excellent with the 6172 but take more of a 'back seat' to the music. Who knows, maybe the 825's, sans caps, will be just as good (or better).
