[sdiy] Signal levels on modulars???

[Tim Ressel]

Harry,

Here is the rub: I use lots of TL08x opamps, and they
don't like getting ip close and personal with he
rails. +/- 13 volts is about tops for them with 15
volt rails. This is not a lot of headroom.

I have two modules that are wigging out due to (I
think) clipping issues. If I can fix those modules,
then I'll keep the +/- 10V scheme. I need to decide
before I due any VCO PCBs.
