<p>The ferrites are nice to have - particularly if you're near a
61,000 watt FM radio station.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Thanks all for the discussion and advice.<br>
Also a good idea to peek in commercial schematics, I see
Kurzweil's 1nF caps now. :-) A bit larger than the 330pF ESD
caps I was simulating, and a bit smaller than the 3nF of the
wurst-case MIDI cable in Roman's example - which barely
passes the MIDI pulses with style.</p>

yes, before the resistor, otherwise it made no sense - LED
or resistor <br>
would go poof before TVS start to conduct<br>
