> LM324's? No problem! Newer stuff is, well, newer stuff! What turned out to be an op-amp problem drove me batty yesterday. Making an electret mic pre-amp (part of the ISD project). Simple enough, but couldn't get rid of a spike that always happened on the rising quadrant of a wave cycle. Had the circuit apart, added things, took things away, single-ended supply, split rail, hit the web, no change. Only when I swapped the op-amp for a dirty old 741 would it work cleanly. NE5534, TLC271, TL071, no good. All had the spike.
