Thanks for your post.
Never posted on a forum before sooo oops!
Yeah i read the entry you posted from the archive the only issue i have, which is typical for me, is that it does not specifically state something along the lines of "even when using direct line out you still need to connect a speaker cabinet"
Everyone i know seems to think that no you shouldnt need to connect a speaker cabinet and their reasons seem convincing enough but then ill read articles that state that yes you must.
The qouted post above does say that yes you must connect a speaker cabinet so i guess this applies to line direct line out mode.....
