| Why audiophools love LT1083/84/85 ? |

Yes, the LM(linear monolithic) parts were National Semiconductor before purchased by TI. I would go with the LM's being first as LT were relative late comers compared to NS. |

That is pretty much like asking "why did the chicken cross the road ?". As a general answer to any question starting with "why audiofool love XXX ?", i would probably look at cognitive bias much more than any electronic/engineering parameters. Remember they themselves often like emphasize that it's not about the numbers, and really most of the time it's not ;). But it's not about the ear neither (double blind ear test anyone ?). So a discontinued/hard to find part tick a classical rare=best bias for sure. A very similar chip do exist but this one is higher priced tick another bias. An easier solution would work about as good (just a good ripple filtering) but this one is harder to build so less often found, tick the exotic appeal bias. ... Buy the way if anyone really caring about the sound quality of their system is reading this, i sell special lt1084 hand picked and then broken in with a special secret protocol that enhance the quality for an unequaled bass frequency authority and astonishing high frequency details for just 200$ a piece or 500$ for a paired couple. Just my 2cts... |
