Hi David,

You keep your cockles to yourself, thank you very much!

Yes, its quite a dense board.

The outputs of the I-V converters are not buffered, in that they feed 
the internal connections that then go to the master mix section.  If I 
didn't have the output buffers then any connect/disconnect on the sub 
outputs would be heard on the main output.  They just keep the outside 
world outside.

Cheers,
Neil
