Discrete opamps were discussed on several different threads but always in context of a specific device they were installed in. We didn't have a dedicated thread to gather all the impressions, reviews and tutorials for this relatively obscure class of audio devices so here it is!
I'll keep adding content to this post so revisit it regularly for more... well, content.
Reviews (I'll keep adding them once original authors grant their permission)

Let me be perfectly clear, other op-amp manufacturers are free to submit their own dank memes to this thread.
