and work well. I'm happy with them.
You have the right solution using zener diodes which are plenty fast for
audio limiting/clipping. The fact that the higher power 1N4700 series
zeners have a more gradual knee from the zener region to the avalanche mode
is what keeps audio distortion from being harsh to the ears. So you are
smarter than you think, Dave :-)
