Yup, I read 8 VAC (relative to Mains AC Ground) on common legs (lowest
resistance pair among L/R/+/- combos with power off) and 80 VAC on the Hot
legs. I fed them directly to better/larger external speakers and it sounds
great, but I want the EQ in the circuit  as it's still flat.

I'll look into a couple of iso's ... I did bring out *both* sides of my tap in
case I wanted to restore the internal speakers. :)

Thanks for info ... & Merry Christmas
