Quad Opamps? (Was Re: ASM-1 PCB availability?)

[patchell]

    The reason, IMHO, is that the op-amps in either a quad, or a dual, for that
matter, tend to "talk" to each other.  At low frequencies, this is not much of a
problem.  I use quads a lot for DC summing circuits.  But at higher frequencies,
you will start to get some interaction.
