Hello, hopefully this is an ok forum to post this query in.
Monte McGuire's detailed SX202 mods checklist still lives, as does my stock Symetrix SX202 dual mic preamp (rev G), and I am about to tackle (as a fairly inexperienced person with a helpful neighbor) swapping out the compensation caps for the two SSM 2015 chips and getting sockets in to replace and upgrade from the three 4560s.
Since time marches on, new ICs have appeared, and others seem to be on their way out, in the dozen years since I've found people last discussing upgrades for the 4560s online.
So, I'm wondering if there are pin-compatible upgrades anyone here would recommend, more recent than and above the LT1469, LM6172, OPA2134—or, if one of those is still your best recommendation, that's great too, just tell me your thoughts.
(I had naively hoped I could just replace them with THAT 1512 but that appears to be wrong.)
Thanks in advance to all of you with decades more experience than I've got, for your input. I yield my time!
