I too went live 5 minutes ago. I have now 9.9k in input and in absence of my RIAA resistors 18k in "External RIAA" connector. Everything looks as expected, input offset can be reduced to basically zero and is wandering a bit, however it remains neglectable low - no problem at all. Output offset is wandering faster but its never more than 30mV. Since I just powered up the first time that was to be expected.
However, the scope shows this on output channel 1:
And this on channel 2:
Rails taken between regulator and amplifier (where bridged) all look similar to this:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Hi Salas,
Probes are set 1x. The scope is a rather cheap 100mhz device from China, Uni-T UTD2102CEL.

My outputs are wandering around within +-100mv but it doesnt seem to influence the sound. The inputs are adjusted to spot on zero
When set at 1X, probes that come with 100MHZ budget scopes should not be better than -3dB 6MHZ to 10MHZ tops. So I wonder if you just pick up some FM radio band interference in the measurement loop. Is there a digital filter menu with low pass beyond the 20MHZ bandwidth limit standard option? If yes try limiting MHZ by MHZ to see if the picture clears.
I wonder if one of you math professors can help me out with the value of a seriescap for the output of the paradise, if it will be loaded with 100ko, and which kind of cap that is best for the purpose?🙂

Salas - to be honest I don't know. Have it only for a couple of weeks. Will check.

Just gave it a try at X1 probes also and the only thing I could reliably capture from the circuit itself sans its dedicated regs was the 100Hz rectification residual breaking thru from the lab supply. Its the spikes in the graph.

40mV near 100mHz almost a nice sinus, is a bit of an problem for the 100Mhz scope, and probably does not tell a lot about the original signal. I think that Salas is right, some strong signal induced by the environment. If (and only when) the RIAA has a proper box, you may be able to stop this signal by adding some ferrite beads in the input (and probably output and signal ground) wires.
If it is still a problem then (when boxed 🙂)
