Why use a 741 when a TL072 or Tl074 is almost the same price and is orders of
magnitude better in noise, bandwidth, etc? You can get 074's for <$1 around 
here, at least (quad op-amp- neat for crossovers-LP and HP in one chip)
I use these extensively and have not observed any problems. Of course,if
I intended to build something to go with high-end audio gear, I would
probably use something like a 5539, for no holds barred.Expensive but 
VERY clean.But , for general use, the 074 does fine.
My $.02
