The power supply noise may also limit the performance. This is my major concern with the design. Any noise on the supply rail goes into the first stage via the bias network, and is transferred at whatever gain to the output. I noticed that when I used a particular bad wall wart to run one of

The TI regulators are, from my perspective extremely noisy, one can do much better at least for higher output voltages. They also don't have a high enough output for the TADD-1. Agreed, that that regulator doesn't have sufficient margin for the entire TADD-1. I was suggesting using the
