Page 3 In some cases, when extremely high gain and feedback are used with transformerless microphones, you may get oscillation from the Germanium pre amp. This is a very rare occasion, but we thought it was worth mentioning. This was not compensated for in the final design for two reasons. First, any correction of this changed the sound of the pre amp.
