MUSES02 Op Amps - Are They As Good As People Say?

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Between the time I filmed this video and published it for public view the following has been confirmed: The MUSES02 will be discontinued and replaced by the MUSES05 by the end of 2025. Unfortunately this means there will be limited stock availability as stock diminishes, both in the Japanese production and in approved reseller's inventory around the globe. NISSHINBO has not made a public announcement of this yet, but their announcement is anticipated soon. They do plan to release NEW MUSES Dual designs, but those will be in surface mount DFN package, and those will likely be a couple years away, at this point. I have my hand raised up high to get some MUSES05's in the future, and I plan a creative video showing how you can integrate these in a DIP8 socket, with a little handy work. If you've wanted to get some MUSES02's, dare I propose you do so before they are gone! !!! Be aware of counterfeit chips on other, questionable websites !!!
