[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 6017398, member: 607015"] When taken out of context, things are not what they seem. What you quoted was only representing one type of amplifier, which was a tube design. Watch what happens when I do the same thing. [COLOR=SeaGreen][B]DC Coupled - With a completely DC coupled amplifier (having neither the input cap nor the feedback cap), the situation is made even worse.
