Maybe this diagram will help: [image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Source_and_load_circuit_Z.png] Z_S is the output impedance of the amplifier. Setting Z_S to zero doesn't cause any problem - on the contrary, it's desirable (so long as there is some other protection against accidentally shorting the amp). It maximizes the efficiency and minimizes the distortion caused by differences in the impedance curve between Z_S and Z_L. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46347 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
