Yes I looked at the 626x a few times. Most recently I didn't like the low-ish gain, no servo and, worse distortion figures on the preamp than the 1580. Thinking about it now, I could fit 2 470uF 10v cg's on a preamp card since I would only need 2 or 3 cards, 39/34 db gain is probably ok, but maybe with some dynamics mics maybe not. Distortion figures, not sure if that's audible, but I do really like the lme49720 op amps and probably because of their low distortion.

I was almost going to post a few weeks ago and ask you about how to do a differential servo for it.

It looks like you'd have to servo into the input bases since one emitter has Rg in series.

thanks for the link. read it and thinking on it.

for now it's not high priority as i'm still working on getting signal digitized.

just sent board order for revised adc, clock and mcu

fingers crossed things will start to work after this.

future versions might involve 626x to simplify things
