snip previous stuff
There's also noise to worry about, of course. Your garden variety op
amp has an input noise voltage of very roughly 10 nV/sqrt(Hz), which is
about the same as the thermal (Johnson) noise of a 6k resistor. So
going too high will cost you voltage noise performance.
The other nice thing about 10 k ohm, is you can put a 1/4W 10k across
the +/- 15V rail and *not* let the magic smoke out.
And 10 k is very close the the "quantum" of conductance.
2*e**2/h =~ 1/12.9k ohm) Coincidence? I don't think so.
I think God also likes ~10k ohm :^)
(please excuse the extreme hubris in the above.)
