Hello..If you are just running in the line inputs you may still benefit from upgrading the opamps as it's possible the pre/line circuit shares the same opamp..( not sure, but most consoles of this price is designed this way)..The channel strip EQ may benefit with better op-amps/caps..As I stated, the one I had modded was upgraded with OP-275s. It's been a long time ago so I'm sure there are better performing chips available now..Especially modding the Master section will help as will your PSU benefit from better caps,etc.Good luck...
