[sdiy] keeping signals seperate..avoiding noise

[Derek Holzer]

EE folks are welcome to correct me if I'm off base here, but the 
non-inverting op-amp configuration is usually high impedance, and the 
inverting setup is low impedance. So two inverting op-amps would give a 
much lower input impedance than a single non-inverting one. Basically 
you want to make it easier for the "nice" signal to travel through the 
circuit via a lower impedance than that presented to the "nasty" signal 
(love these technical terms!!!).

best,
D.
