I was looking at M.Otala's amplifier circuit diagram and found that he has used the T network in the feedback loop and also used the RC (snubber?) on the supply rails , both being discussed on this forum. So I guess if it's on the Electrocompaniet amp it must be useful .
Suggest that others look at the circuit at

Cheers.

The more current EC amps use neither so i guess it's not so useful
Konnichiwa,
Yup. He also uses inverting mode!
Very interesting historical headsup.

The new designer (?) can probably achieve the same acoustic performance without them . That doesn't mean that it never was good ! Just that he is using some other methods to achieve it - probably with less component count (?).
Would you have any idea ? Can you share the circuit diagram of the newer circuits so that we can make an informed guess ?
Thanks.
Ashok.
Upupa Epops said:Franz, quality of this amp make something different : dual rails, good linearisation of diferential amps and high open loop gain - not snuber.
This amp has low open loop gain. Each stage is degenerated.
The FB value is listed as 20dB... not large by any standards.

Sorry, Ashok, i was just joking. The snubbers, t-network and inverting mode are all good features in my book. The circuits (or links) of AW70,100,120 were posted on this forum. If you can't find them send me a pvt mail and i'll be pleased to email them.

And with the hand drawing, it looks like we have a double-t! It is not exactly clear, what the horizontal resistor is, what value? Connected to the feedback path?
And the snubbers, indeed! 0.68uF and 1R

plus the 100nF (0.1uF) across each rail. Ala carlosfm
Nice!!!

This is really common practice in many psu's! Carlos speciality is the "snubber" in the psu.
