[sdiy] Redesigning CA3080 circuits to use LM13600/13700?

in most cases you can use the LM13600 / 13700 and just don't use the
buffer.  The CA3080 might be ~slightly~ better than the LM13600 / 13700
especially in offset voltage, but that is not guaranteed.

The NE5517 is a good choice as well... although I did get some weird
response in cutoff. I got a little feedthrough where I expected none...
