| Impedance mis-match? Here's the response from MF... most digital parts I know of are 50 ohms (or 100 ohms balanced) to preserve square wave edges. That said at these relatively lowish frequencies (low MHz) such a mismatch is unlikely to cause problems unless going int... | |

| Keeping dustcover looking new Tls49 - have you ever tried using Novus Plastic Polish on a badly scratched CD?I've seen posts about using Brasso, which I think would be a little too abrasive.I did try some silver polish, which is significantly finer than Brasso, and although it... | |
| Impedance mis-match? Thanks guys - that was my thinking alsoHowever, I do have these two components and they work extremely well together.Perhaps it's a typo on the v-link spec? - I'll have to contact themPerhaps it's the cables I'm using - which are far from standard... | |
