For a lab supply I like the idea of a power supply that sucks as well as blows so boosted op-amp sounds good. Consider using a DC coupled amplifier designed for audio amplifier solutions. Lowish cost for the power. More anon perhaps. RM -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
