ablaze 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 honestly, I'm surprised its working. old opamp destroyed whilst trying to desolder it (how the fish do I use solder wick on such a tiny scale ) and the pcb underneath the chip's quite marred, maybe the photo doesn't show only. trust me it ain't pretty anyway, thanks for the encouragement guys oh evil-zen: about the A-B, if you look at the first pic, there're THREE 5532s to be replaced with 8620s. I've only done ONE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 ooops. i thought you are done with it already. anyway you are 1/3 there already. the front channel needs 3 opamps or is it for 3 different channels? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
