Default On the origin and workings of "Fast" Power supplies

That could only be possible, if the feedback resistor from the base of
the inverting input of the differential pair is connected to ground
with a cap.
IMO, that's not a harmful place ;-)



It's potentially as equally harmful as the input cap actually.



I disagree.
The signal amplitude at the inverting input is attenuated by the
feedback voltage divider, and there's a fairly constant DC offset
voltage across it.

The input cap has to deal with an unknown DC polarity at the input and
higher signal voltages, hence the need for a relatively large value
and a bipolar electrolytic.
I use Nichicon Muse ES caps for this application.
