I like the sound of this.  I do not consider the common master to be a
problem since there IS a master.  The individual levels could be adjusted
on one channel if desired.  could one side be AC while the other side was
DC?  Would this cause the common master to be a heartache?

I personally liked the tight holes (don't we all)?

If you say so Paul.  This falls in that category for me of not knowing what
I want until Paul tells me <g>.

I'll buy it.
