[sdiy] Bypass caps: Tantalum or Ceramic?

[harrybissell at prodigy.net]

Yes....

I prefer both. A tantalum of maybe 10uF / 35V on each rail...and
a .1uF monolythic ceramic (axial lead) at each active device supply
(so two per opamp)...

That can add up to several hundred .1uF caps on a good size design.
