        from opposite supplies to match, I decided to run a transient response to
                                                                           fader.
        determine how much input degeneration was required.
          The bottom fell out! When the fader is set for 10% output, the differ-
        ential input voltage is 90% of the input signal! This means that the open
        loop linearity of the input stage must be very good for signals up to one
        volt or more. To get signal linearity of 0.1% would require over a volt of
        degeneration. With that much degeneration in each input stage, the mis-
        match in offset voltage between the two would be tens of millivolts and
        that would show up as control feedthrough. Big degeneration resistors
