I own a Green Solo over some years and I tested some other OPAs. Original there is an AD823 build in.
My first test candidate was an metal can LME49720HA with best experience, unfortunately it is not very tight in the DIP socket. Then I had tested LT1057ACN8.
Now I put an LME49860NA in the socket. LME49860NA (and LME49720HA too) offers the best as Solo with this given schema and parts ever could.
This modified Solo is equal to the with AD797 modified WNA MKII.

I own an 'Green' Reflex to. My turntable is an Revox B790 with a Goldring G1042 pickup system.

The only disadvantage of the 'green' switching power supplies they sometimes chirp.

Good luck with the chip rolling Fritz. I think I have got most of those op amps in my spares box too!
