Dave Chun	Re: Burr Brown I couldn't find any discrete components on the Burr Brown website (www.burr-brown.com). Could be a JFET op-amp. BB specializes in that hifi sort of thing. WIMA caps are an imported brand (Holland?) which are indeed very pricey - at my local shop, they're four times the price of generic caps at the same voltage rating. IMHO they're a little hifi sounding, a good thing in certain places (I like them in phase inverters and as the first cap in the signal path.)
