It's all about sharing resources and getting to know what's out there and
available to meet our varied tastes and requirements.

I inquired and I've been told that the 1/4" 'line outs' are tip and shield,
two-wire and not balanced. No big deal, but it would have been nice.

For me, I think I'm looking at a Tuesday or Wednesday delivery.

Regards,

Donn
