If we examine the signal path construction of some competent RF function generator, awe at the work of the magician engineers and marvel at the heroic shielding and weird parts, then we know why we can't expect anything better than 70-80dB PSRR up to few decades of kHz beyond the audio band with typical construction.
 
Yes it is, and similar for HF signal suppression (see attached measurement). Audio instruments are NOT designed according to HF design rules and simulation results are made on very simplified circuits, regarding HF impedances.

Well guys, i am loving it- R3 mate with Benz Ruby 3H-Turntable Once Analog(Aus made)/Basis Vector 3 arm. Compare to my previous phonostage Herron Audio(tube) the presentations is very different ie more laidback, no noise and so much more details:D

Very nice to hear! After we had so much trouble getting the parcel into your hands, in the end it turned out well...
 
A new solution for the drifting offset came up in the German Paradise Forum.
The offset drift ( typical plus-minus 25mV ) goes down to less then 5mV when the transistors are thermally coupled so it is a thermal drift problem.
Ones the Paradise is in a closed case it goes away. Another solution is to simply build a card bored box and slide it over the low level transistors.
That explains why the guys that have the Paradise encased did not experience that issue.

We allready had some hints from diyaudio in this respect.... So it is confirmed.
