yes! Thanks for responding ! Yeah, I seemingly cant find them stateside. But I will try your suggestions!https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005003620835108.html these? you might find them cheaper it was the first hit... audiophonics and burson have them too
no problem! if the claim is true of OCC silver plated copper the aliexpress adapter might be even better than othersyes! Thanks for responding ! Yeah, I seemingly cant find them stateside. But I will try your suggestions!
You know what, I found a place in Minnesota, USA thats sells Dip8 adapters/extneders called DigiKey. They have lots of Dip8 interconnects for mad cheap ( https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mill-max-manufacturing-corp/299-43-308-10-001000/1212031 ). They also have international purchase sites for those outside America as well, like Germany where you are ( https://www.digikey.de/ ) !no problem! if the claim is true of OCC silver plated copper the aliexpress adapter might be even better than others
these look awesome if you just need a 90 degree bent, much better than wires i think..
These adapters are great and not expensive:You know what, I found a place in Minnesota, USA thats sells Dip8 adapters/extneders called DigiKey.

Either way, its good that we all have more options in Europe, American and Asia to source crazy parts like this fast!
Glad you said this...got some of these on order! I will compare both in a op-amp death-match!These adapters are great and not expensive:

I compared these adapters to typical DIP8 gold plated sockets and found that sound quality improves when using these long adapters in my devices. Reccomend
we will see....at least it will clear my case when I close it. I have a different adapter in one of my rigs that had a really tight fit. It didnt fit the dip8 sockets straight away, and had to stretch the prongs to their limits (which isnt good long term). The ones I got from DigiKey and Alibaba will work way better without too much fiddling.these look awesome if you just need a 90 degree bent, much better than wires i think..
It was interesting for me to find that typical small gold plated dip8 sockets (I used three pieces to lift up my opamp from board) affected sound quality quite noticeable (not in a good way), compared to these long dip8 extenders I made a comparison several times and found that sound quality was better when using these long extenders. It may be because of different material being used (copper-berylium in small DIP8 sockets VS silver plated copper wires in DIP8 extenders).Glad you said this...got some of these on order!

please report back but my feeling tells me that a longer wire can just degrade the sound more, specially if we take the bypass caps on the board into account, tho i think the burson opamps probably can handle it.. a opamp chip is more susceptible herewe will see....at least it will clear my case when I close it.

will do...youre prolly rightplease report back but my feeling tells me that a longer wire can just degrade the sound more, specially if we take the bypass caps on the board into account, tho i think the burson opamps probably can handle it.. a opamp chip is more susceptible here
hmmm...interesting. I did get away from having too many sockets for exactly what you said. And I agree about the extenders and what wiring is used too.

Where did you order your Muses05? :O I couldn't find these with dip8 socket configuration :/ will these be an upgrade to Muses03?Gotta say i love that smaller size of new burson lineup. Will have to give them a go soonish. Ordered muses05, so than will keep me busy a bit.
As for the extenders. Now, i don't think it will degrade the sound much if all works fine, but the main reason i say that is, that it can oscillate, which would mean it doesn't work fine. My guess is most people in this hobby of ours doesn't have oscilloscope, and oscilations may go unnoticed. Oscillations impact sound, and can produce issues. Newclassd opamp oscillates on such adapter, i noticed it mostly due to excessive heat being produced, so i clipped it on with a dummy load to my oscilloscope, and there i had it. So be careful, it's also dependant on where you put it.
