- You can't use a high gain pre-amp & power amp with negative feedback on
- the combined stages.
- a
- The reason you haven't seen it is that it won't work. You can't treat the
- pre-amp and power amp as an OPAMP and use negative feedback. The are too
- many stages and your circuit would be unstable. Neg feeback is limited
- to power amps or preamps, but cannot be applied easily to both combined,
- with reactive non linear loads (speakers).
- Better Amps use ganged pots to control attenutation of 2 stages, that
- power noise level is reduced at low levels.
