but switched to long ICs. Because of the layout of my room I have to choose between one and the other! :-((My tube-output preamp can certainly cope with these ICs.
As you say, capacitance is a killer for long ICs (long speaker cables as well, in fact) so I took care to make up a low-capacitance IC. I also went to a great deal of effort to space the shield well away from the signal wires. No "dull & lifeless" here, mate!! :-))
