We don't seem to have a predecessor to this article. I'm confused--I don't recall ever seeing audio equipment with a 10 K OUTPUT impedance. Input, yes--fairly common. Did someone get the two confused somewhere along the line? -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.
