open up ur amp...and look for the ICs looks like the picture near the RCA jacks
brand or numbers u'll always see is 072 or NE5532 from Philips or BB..... maybe others also
they're usually 8 legged, 4 at each side

yup..... this ops627ap cost you ard RM80 from RS Electronics per pcs, and it's a single type opamp
most amp uses minimum 2pcs of dual op amp, means u'll need 4pcs of opa627

Preamp: Zelos Audio TUBE-A with Telefunken 12AU7
XO: Zelos Audio Z-7 with Burr-Brown OPA627
