I was wondering in cases where you are building a preamp with an opamp and a buffer, if there is any benefit to adding an inductor in series the output of the buffer prior to the feedback loop. I wonder if this could help make tricky opamps easier to tame by filtering out very high frequencies.
Is this a bad theory?
Any pointers appreciated. |

| I would think that a bad idea as the gain would go up as the frequency increased. |

Ahhh... OK.
So maybe this is a better idea? An inductor in series with the resistor from the feeback loop to ground? |

You suggestion to use reactive components ( cap. & Ind.) in the NFB nets only if have not other choice. The insertion of this elements in a function of transfer produces a series of dynamicses ( poles and/or zeros ) that have to be controlled with precision. The inductors in particular, they hear again a lot of of the external interferences (EMI), and risks to build a AM radio. If then have a magnetic nucleus, lose totally the follow-up of the situation(various THD form).
lead always a RF shutters RC net in input to your circuits, because in the "realities" audio signals is practically always a external RF components. Besides you put always a resistance in series to the output, on behalf of avoiding instability ( even this much diffused on account of the elevated capacity of the audio cables )

Thanks Mauro,
It looks like it is not common practice to add an inductor in the feedback loop at any point. I was only wondering, because I saw a commercial pre-amp schematic with on inductor after a buffer, and just wondered why.
Sincerely,

Maybe it's because the bass ;)
I prefer punchy bass to long(slow) bass.
Try to add an inductor to your amp, you will see how the bass will sounds :rolleyes: |

What you saw was probably some RFI/EMC stuff. Inductors in the feedback is very rare, towards non-exsistant. |
