When purchasing op amps, is there any need to use a 'name brand' for general purpose use ?
I'm new to electronics and I'm starting to look at purchasing a small inventory of bits and pieces.
I've noticed that op amp prices vary dramatically, with 'name brand' products costing 5-10 times more than the equivalent 'no name' item.
Are they worth the extra money ? (if so, in what way ?)
