Re: Phanton power destroying outputs ?It is very common practice to place a series cap on the outputs of devices.This does a couple of things-it blocks any DC offset that may occur on the output from getting to the next device in the chain.It will also stop any DC that might occur on the output from getting back into the output stage.However these "blocking caps" are generally (it has been a long time since I have looked at them-since I don't do component level repair much anymore) on the order or 35V or so.

I usually make sure a line output goes into a line input.

It is very common practice to place a series cap on the outputs of devices.
