> ......That's correct, Don.  Arden's idea is a good one-
connecting the Zeners cathode-to-cathode *should*
work just like the circuit with the steering power
diodes.  But it doesn't.  Not a bit.  Speaker still
pops with keying.  I have no idea why what I drew
works and what Arden suggests doesn't.
Makes no sense to me.  I just stuck with what worked.

That effect says to me the zener diodes you're using have a much longer 
forward conduction delay.  After all they were designed to operate in the 
forward mode.  I wonder if a spec sheet could tell us.  I'll try to find 
out, not that it's necessary for Dave's functioning clipper.

Back to the Demo destruction derby...
