Re: Whole House Audio over Telephon line?

["the_home_automator" <db@xxxxxxx>]

OK

You are driving a line in of a hifi amp from a speaker socket.  This
will work moderately well.  The pluses are that the speaker drive
will be of low impedence, and the signal level high, so interference
pickup will be minimial.  Hwever, the minus is the signal is
unbalanced, and also there is a possiility of earth loops.  If your
hifi amp is double insulated (two core mains lead) you probably wont
bump ito this problem.

Yes, you can drive more amplfiers xpanding your system, for he
reasons outlined above.

Ideally, you want line level balanced audio distribution, step
