I know this is a bit off center, but it is audio. And, I find good answers here.
I have a Garmin GPS. I've put a jack in for earbuds, so that I can hear directions under my helmet when riding.
I inserted a 350 ohm 1/8 watt resistor in line with the earbud jack. The jack disconnects the speaker when the earbuds are plugged in.
Someone was mentioning that to much resistance to a tube amplifier could hurt it, and I wondered if that applied to all amplifiers.
Am I putting any stress on the amplifier by placing the resistor in line?
The volume level is the same, which was the point.
Thanks,
Floyd
