INTRODUCTION.
The LM833 is a dual amplifier by National, designed "with particular emphasis on performance in audio systems" it says in the datasheet.
The bipolar input stage gives low voltage noise, though not quite as good as the 5532. The load-driving capability is not so good, a 1K load causing significant distortion.

SPECS.
Here are the vital statistics:
All typical values, for +/-15V supply rails.
Supply voltage +/-18V abs max
Output range +/-13.4V typ (2K load)
CM range +/-14V )
en 4.5 nV/rtHz typ 1 kHz
in 0.7 pA/rtHz typ
Ibias 500 nA typ
Slew rate: 7 V/us
Unity gain stable YES
Supply current 5 mA
Cost 56p RS Jan 2001
LM833 driving various loads at 7.75 Vrms.
Series feedback, gain= 3.2x
