OK. I'll tweak the values.

Need to return to this later methinks.

OK. Thanks.

I'll place it on the schematic as optional.

Agreed. I'm intending 3 channel. Thought it best to get a L/R basically right first.

I didn't realise that the Pimeta used an IC buffer. Having looked, the Pv1 actually uses the BUF634! However, I'd still like to press on as one of my intending learning objectives from this exercise will/may be the production of a PCB (I've never done one before).

OK. Thanks.
