So THAT is where all this voodoo comes from! 

I wonder what Orr would have thought of the disk experiment we just
did. Twice.

You are right though, I will have to get one of his books. Like I
said, several people have quoted him saying a GG amp is a phase
inverting amp. I don't doubt the quoters but I would like to read that
myself. 

I'll be back.  :-)
