                <div>The answer to A) is no, because of 1)<br>
                </div>
                <div>Recently I made some THT design and was just so
                  happy about it until I found how many parts that I
                  freely use in SMD are simply not made in THT, so the
                  choice usually comes to one part if any.<br>
                </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>The answer to B) is usually Mouser, but they have
                  sometimes errors in describing parameters, or take
                  different values to the table, like "typical" for one
                  part and "minimum" for the other part. Sometimes I use
                  DigiKey, mostly because they seem to have more refined
                  parameters to search and I can type the quantity of
                  interest, and then sort by the price. Mouser sorts
                  only at qty 1 which is useless.<br>
                </div>
                <div>And obviously all manufacturer's websites contain
                  parametric search, which is the most accuratre, but
                  still I prefer Mouser because it gives me guidance of
                  the price and availability.<br>
                </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>And if it's for some S&H, why don't you stick
                  with TL0xx? Are you sure your switching key has lower
                  leakage than bias of TL0xx opamp? Or try LF347 maybe
                  but it's inferior to LF444 in this application anyway.<br>
                </div>
                <div><br>
                </div>
                <div>Give LF444 a chance, get new ones, maybe they were
                  handled very badly and inputs were damaged by ESD
                  because of bad storage. They would still work but bias
                  may be in range of nA instead of pA.<span

                          </div>
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>I'm looking for opamps with the following

                          </div>
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>1) Through-hole<br>

                          <div>2) Quad opamp<br>
                          </div>
                          <div>3) 14-DIP package<br>
                          </div>
                          <div>4) High power range (+/-18V, say)<br>
                          </div>
                          <div>5) Low input bias current (10 pA or less
                            typical)<br>
                          </div>
                          <div>6) Pin-compatible with TL074, etc.<br>
                          </div>
                          <div>7) Not LF444 (cuz they all seem to be

                          </div>
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>So, basically, I'm looking for a suitable
                            alternative for LF444.<br>
                          </div>
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>So, here are my questions:<br>
                          </div>
                          <div><br>
                          </div>
                          <div>A) Do you know of such a thing<br>
                          </div>
                          <div>B) How does one go about finding such a
                            thing, generally?<br>
