[Elecraft] Any solution to the audio blast issue yet ?

[David Cutter]

A peak limiter combined with a fast short or open circuit is the only way to 
prevent ear damage.  I've listened to earphones "protected" by vdr and, 
although the peak voltage delivered to the headset is limited, the waveform 
simply flattens off and the audio power pulse is still deafening.

This problem I think is addressed by telecom users eg in call centres and 
has been around a loooong time.  One of these days I'll make a little 
outboard suppressor to use with my headphones where-ever I take them.
