No. That doesn't apply here, a different case.

If you look at the amp as an operational differential amp, these things will matter imho. Resistor networks on inv and non-inv inputs should match precisely to yield max CMMRR - which translates to PSRR as well.

But about your comment. You have no 'balanced' input stage. Basically your amp are redrawn differential receiver. I wrote about different things, what to you will connect to the amps input? Are those blocks under your development? How do you plan to regulate volume? How any of the possible users will connect your amp to existing equipment? Are you plan to combine SE and SuSy outputs of different signal sources in one input of your amp? Again, your amp now is a differential receiver by topology. It anyway have low-impedance input. Both of this are normal in labour circumstances, but are wrong in DIY unpredictable world. Bruno have perfect article "The G-Word" describing straightly this problem. Quote:
You need to first put a high-impedance buffer to break ground-related and common-mode currents and only then subtract common-mode from sum of common- and differential-mode input in the differential receiver circuit. Then you need to regulate volume, again buffer it's output with a some circuit which doesn't affected in its quality by source impedance and only the use power amplifier. Also, keep in mind that power amplifier must be inverting, just because that noninverting amp have intrinsic nonlinear common-mode error vs common-mode itself and this error now dominates in total THD figures of the modern amps. So, sorry, the one possible topology of the integrated poweramp is: Buffer -> DifReceiver -> volreg -> buffer -> invAmp. |

An amp with an SE input has no CMRR at all, where you should keep in mind that CMRR only counts for a receiver when the source also has a balanced output and yes in that case it's better to have a balanced high input impedance. Much more important IMO is the feedback resistor R10 because of the high voltages on this resistor where non linearities are taking their part. The least one should do is to take a 0.5 Watt metal film resistors for R10 & R12 from the same (RN65) series. You would be surprised how much distortion an improper feedback resistor can produce, IMO a more serious problem as CMRR. Hans |

However an instrumentation amp suppresses CM, and yes it makes sense to use high impedance buffers in front while driven from a balanced source. But at the end, a simple trimpot and a trimcap after the buffers is all you need if you really want to go to the limit for whatever reason. Hans |

Unbalanced connection really must be excluded from any equipment pretending to be HiFi. It's a really nonsense to mix ground coupling wire and signal reference potential in one conductor. So in case of unbalanced source first to be done is ground decoupling. It's not a rocket science, but it's now an issue which need to be properly estimated and effectively resolved. Quote:
Most of the designs are sensitive to signal source resistance, for example conditionally stable inverting amplifier could be easily run out of stability region due to this. Last edited by BesPav; 12th January 2021 at 01:56 PM. |

First of all, a conditionally stable amp is the last thing we want, don’t we ?
But even then will it be impossible to make things worse because trimming as mentioned should take place after the buffers, causing no effect on the source. I can agree that it’s beneficial to prevent the usual double function of the gnd connection although probably true for 99% of all equipment. Read ‘Pin 1 revisited, etc’ in Jan’s Linear Audio Vol. 10.
