Ummmmmm, I thought those were in the left front seat.

Especially line cords.

Non-linearity *inside the feedback loop path* is amplified by the feedback factor.
John said:If you mean the actual feedback path, not the forward path, sure. But
the feedback path is almost always passive.

Sure. But may contain non-linear components such as med or hi-K dielectric caps.
Therefore their use inside the feedback path exageerates their non-linearity and should
be avoided.
I've even experienced non-linear resistors too btw. Just once. A batch of 'bad' 27ks.

Non linerity effects simply can't be reduced there, but no they can't be
amplified.

Geez, don't tell Fred!

OMG, are the audiophools going be pissed at you!

it appeared to be a
steady-state phenomenon. I could stress (i.e. bend) the board a
little, and the frequency would change, and would've stayed changed had
my loop not pulled it back.
^Ken said:My one wasn't sensitive to acceleration;
This sounds like it wasn't actually the crystal that was causing the
shift. Perhaps the capacitors were being stressed and changing values.

Insert the word "very" as marked and I'll believe you but without it, you

Can I use the word 'particularly' instead?
Yes, I had also considered that it might be caused by a 1uF MLCC in the
loop filter. (I don't recall the dielectric material, but it was a
physically large part (1206?).)
Alas, this design has been retired, so I won't have a chance to open
the loop and find the real cause of the problem.
