Ive been studying the MINT and PINT schematics. Why did they get rid of the "railsplitter" and the buffers? Is it so they can save board space by eliminating the need for two big power caps and replace them with a single one? Other than that it seems like it requires more board space than a "railsplitter" - the "OpAmped ground" needs two smaller caps and resistors. I thought that the big revelation of the PIMETA was the addition of the railsplitter and buffers - now they get rid of them?
From my meager breadboarding of amps in the past few days, the presence of buffers has made more of a diffrence than any other single thing I've done.
The real reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a 'tiny pimeta'. A railsplitter, two AD744s and two HA3-5002's on the output without an opamp in the ground (basically a MINT).
