I have a little network with a small amount of attenuation to cut down on background hiss. I also have back to back 1N5818 Schottky Diodes across the headphones for hearing protection. The diodes introduce just a little fuzz on the loudest signals - nothing like the gross distortion caused by the K3's AF limiter.
