What do you think about LT1357/1358 opamps?

Completely opposite type of errors.

Natural.

During the long evolution human beings learned to ignore natural errors, where specter is wide and richer when sounds are lauder. So, if distortions are symmetrical and higher in level plus wider in specter when sounds decay it sounds much worse than opposite type of distortions of much higher level.

[quote author="lagoausente"]I think they are made for video. 600V/µs Slew Rate (still not sure what really means).
A respectable guy that make mods and sale own preamps recomend them to replace of 5532.
That toke my attention, and I´m curious that a search on this forum gives only results on threads were I mention them. So seem a rare use in audio, at least here.
The guy claims "you´ll hear much more clear on the high end".
Maybe it´s worth a try?[/quote]

Personally, I prefer the sound of the LM4562 over the LT1358. I think it sounds more natural. In my testing, LT1358 was clear, but perhaps a bit dry sounding as I recall. Another option is the AD8599, which is quite detailed, but somewhat warmer than the LM4562 IMO.
