   As I was read Your message I thought about what I heard a long time ago,   
   that as a man ages we don't hear some of the higher frequency audio.   
      
   Your mentioning 'mic/line input' had me remember using a 4 Ohm to 10,000 Ohm   
   transformer with the Amplifier in my Record Player to use it as a Intercom   
   in my house.   
      
   Later I did put a (tubed) phono amplifier in the box the intercom speaker   
   was mounted in.   
   The amp came out of a friends Junk Box.   
      
   Then I could have the intercom On and listen to my Records too.

   I can identify with that... My C=64 gear is still working when I turn it on.   
   The Majority of Floppy Disks that I put in the 1541 FDD still have what I   
   stored on them.   
      
   Does Yours work O.K. too?
