I'm getting ready to order some junk from Digikey. Can someone
recommend good general purpose op-amps to stock for tinkering? I've
been using the 741 just because I had a few laying around, but I know
that better things exist. I've also got a couple of TL082s, but really
haven't done much of anything with them yet. The 741 has worked ok
(more or less) for me, but I want something with better gain at 40kHz
(ultrasound tinkerings) and that can go much closer to the rails since I
like to use 5V for power. Something that won't easily latch up would be
nice too. I don't need anything really fancy, just something relatively
inexpensive ($2 or so) and easy to use. BTW, I like to use solderless
breadboards for prototyping.
For comparators I use the LM393, is that still a reasonable choice or
should I stock up on something newer?
TIA
