"Actually the concept applies to non-feedback amps as well."Joel, your original response to Willie was that he should be careful or he might screw up the delicate balamce of the feedback loop.
BTW: Any tone or attitude in my posts was just an imitation of your own. I probably shouldn't post right after getting home from work, but I have nothing to appologize for.

"Are you aware that many of these old feedback amps were designed so that all the power supplies had the same time constant?"
Cigna reading retention score: F
Certainly the implication of what you did write in your original response to the question is that the various power supplies were designed to have the same time constant in order to facilitate the proper function of the feedback circuit(s). This is the way I (an intermediate neophyte) interpreted it. It seemed to make sense that preserving the time constant would be a good thing to do in association with applying NFB. So, Cigna gets at least a B+.

It's probably worth nothing that if you are trying to avoid LF instability in a feedback amplifier, perhaps the last thing you want to do is have all the supply sections have the same time constants.

so what kind of feedback were you referring to?
