Default Re: Audiophoolery?

When we were designing a PLL frequency synthesizer in the early 1970's, we had problems with loop stability. My colleague traced it to the thermally-generated noise in the resistors of the R-C loop filter, where at one point, the signal was so small that the thermal noise was affecting it. Fitting low noise resistors provided a complete cure.
