Thanks for link Steve. Regarding the power tran, I note you did not relocate,shield or change to toroid as some others have indicated. Did you see no improvement in doing so?
I have a HP339A so I know what this circuit is capable of doing. Good work.

Hi Larry,
The HA3-2625-5 is available from Newark electronics here:
Newark link

The listing is a little confusing but it IS in the DIP package and they have 400 in stock and they will sell quantity-1 for $8.55. Note that after stock is depleted, they will only be available in multiples of 500.

I did not try any other opamps, since I felt confident that this one would work well there (per the original HP design). However, I imagine that there are some high-performance opamps which could match it. This one has 100MHz gain-bandwidth, 35V/us slew rate and works from ±15V power supplies.

I will be happy to help if you have any other questions.

Steve

Have you a source for the HA3-2625-5 IC?
If not have you tried another low distortion opamp?
