You can't get them in Mumbai.

Direct imports or sample programs are the only way.

RS/Farnell is expensive, beyond reason. Their prices are usually original cost + shipping cost + 80% profit. They may come close to D-K prices if you order 15,000 or so.

Edit: The Farnell price on the LT1364 is not too shabby.

Edit 2: You be careful with those opamps. They need lots of compensation. Such high-speed amps usually have stability issues when you drop them into circuits that do not properly compensate the output.

thanks sangram. have heard some good feedback from other users of my soundcard (prodigy 7.1 HiFi) who have experimented with different combinations of opamps. hence thinking of trying out these LT ones.
