Good Lord. By chance I came across a bag of ancient LM301s in metal can

other day. Amazing what's lurking in odd corners.


The scary thing is that Studer used the 301s in a bunch of consoles and
actually managed to make them sound good. I'd never have believed it if
I hadn't heard it for myself.


All things considered that drives another nail in the coffin of the theory
that slew rate always matters.

Part of the secret is to never put more
than 20dB of gain on any one stage, it seems.


This part has only 1 MHz GBW. That means that a stage with 40 dB gain may
start rolling off with -3B @ 10 KHz.
