I suspect you are misreading the spec. I expect that is
the 'nominal' load but I'd be VERY surprised if it can't
drive a lower impedance. Without schematics to hand I
couldn't give a precise figure.

For openers, the title "QUAD CD" does not describe a single piece of
equipment, or even a single family of related products. There are at two
families of Quad CD players, the 67 family and the 99 family. The Quad 99
series players further compound the situation by having two different sets
of outputs with very difference performance specs.

I suspect that Jute is basing his alleged specification on the standard IHFM
line level load which includes a 10K resistive component. If that's the case
then he's still in error because the proper way to address that load is with
a device that expects to see 10K or *less*.

You're a blustering idiot, Krueger. This is from the QUAD official
literature of the CD66 and it states "10K minimum*: " Audio Output:
2Vrms maximum. 300mV on normal progamme material. Minimum load
impedance 10kR."

What part of "minimum load impedance 10KR" do you fail to understand,
Krueger?

We have three idiots pontificating about a simple number, which all
three have got it wrong -- but not one of them has bothered to look it
up! But meaningwhile these three morons are smacking their chops in
glee that someone else got it "wrong." How childish. No wonder these
newsgroups remain in intensive care.

I am surprised that someone who purports to design & build amplifiers etc.
would have to ask such a basic question. This is electronics 101.......
