Default Doug Sax on wire

Quite a few years ago I read an interview with the boss at Benchmark. He was
asked how they get away with using the much-maligned 5532 dual opamp for
most of their designs; he replied, in essence, that if you rolled the
high-frequency response off well before the closed-loop curve ran into the
open-loop, and watched out for loading, the 5532 could give very nice
results. Their products seem to confirm it.


Doug Self also chose the 5532 for his IC-based designs such as his
Precision Preamp '97, which I have built and now use for my main
preamp.
