4 chassis unit with battery supply for builtin linestage - upgraded input opamps with Burson Audio discrete opamps - very nice overall improvement in sound quality.

Thanks Tony, very helpful. Did you replace 4 ad843's with the Burson singles (4of) or dual (2of)? and did Burson supply the extenders? Did you solder the Burson's in or did they have the socket plug in board?
Tony, can you tell me a bit more on the op amp change, did you do this or Frederik Schaefer? I'm not aware of it so of course am interested. I've yet to hear another amp I'd want to swap to..
