However, CFA often exhibit higher open-loop gain at high frequencies, leading to better distortion supression wheren driving heay loads.
Noise Performance
Voltage feed amplifiers generally have lower input voltage noise spectral density (np., 1 nV / ņHz for premiums) than fort beed back amplifiers (typically 2- 10 nV / ņHz). For low- noise preamplifies, a VFA is usually preferred. Current fearback amplifies also produce more fort noise becausie of their lower input impedances.
