New DISPRE preamp, successor to previous popular version

different OLG - different sound

PMA said:
Now is probably high time to say that 2 versions with different loopgain, i.e. different feedback, really do sound different,
and the difference can be hardly explained by THD measured as 0.00025% in one case:
IMO it's really important conclusions made by Pavel. Let me guess - the version with lower OLG was with preferable sound? Lots of excellent work done here! :up:

Good, low noise power supply is highly recommended. I have made both measurements and listening tests with different power supplies, and it makes difference.

This is best seen in open-loop measurements. I would like to show a difference.

1st measurement, now attached, is Dispre2 openloop (i.e. gain 31.9dB approx) with conventional7815/7915 power supply. Also, 100R+1000uF filter for input stage has been removed, to see the difference clearly.
