| measuring output impedance IF it is a tube circuit that uses a cathode follwer as an output buffer then you could measure the resistance as Aball did with the power off and be very close, but this is not the way it is usually done.1. Play a steady test tone from a CD and me... | |
| audiophile low pass filter Yes, I see. A riddle.What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? | |
