I need a direct pin compatible replacement for the LF351 op amp?
TL072? LT1357? OP275? Is there something better, with low chances of
oscillation? Mainly for line input. Thanks in advance.

** Then you need a single op-amp.

** Those are duals - except for the 1357.

** The TL071 is equivalent.
The OPA627 has exceptional specs - and price too.

LF351 is a single channel device. I'd choose a BurrBrown OPA134PA or OPA604PA.

How about another LF351? It's probably perfect for the design in which
it's used. The only reason I can see to replace it is if died.
Of course if you want to design something else around the existing
socket, that's your business. Start plugging in pin-compatible ICs and
start listening. If it sounds OK, put a scope on it and start looking
for oscillations that you can't hear, but which will affect things
that you could hear if you listened hard enough.

Hi Nathan,
LF351 is an old FET input device with fair drive spec and so-so noise
spec. For a drop-in replacement, try the TI OPA604AP. Much lower
root-Hz noise, much higher slew rate, way more output current, IMO
better sounding (though the 351 wasn't bad for its era), and similarly
unity gain stable. An alternative drop-in might be the OPA132AP --
less expensive, even lower noise.
Ignore JW -- both are good sounding parts :-)

Nathan,
Is this by any chance for a Sound Workshop Series 30?
I replaced the LF351s with OPA604s in the line inputs of my Series 30.
They oscillated at minimum gain but that was solved with a small cap
connected as Monte suggests. I don't recall the value right now but I
can check that if you want.
