Hi Magnus, Ian,

There was only one. And it is an unpublished circuit, besides of that I 
send them to you and Ian as attachement, back then.

It was that I pointed out that its *only* the output resistors rBE that 
is actually to be compensated. You accepted that argument.

The input transistors rBE results in a constant offset of the Vbe, which 
translates into a fixed detuning. (Leaving possible higher order effects 
aside.)

There is nothing to remedy, because there is nothing wrong with that fact.

Cheers,
