Agreed... BUT... how many of them ISOLATE the RING so it doesn't short out when a mono plug is plugged into the STEREO jack? THAT is what I was trying to avoid as much as providing two individual connections... with what I have, you can plug in either a stereo plug (connected to a SINGLE spkr), or a mono plug (connected to a single spkr) and still not have to worry about the long mono sleeve shorting out the RING on the K3's input. The TIP & GND of the K3 PLUG connects to the LEFT spkr, and the RING & GND connect to the RIGHT spkr. But the RINGs on BOTH of the INPUT jacks are not connected to anything. 73, Tom ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
