[OZAPRS] DC connectors

[Ray Wells]

Ah yes! The magic smoke accompanied by the sinking feeling it causes as 
one sees dollar signs etched on the eyeballs.

This is way OT but you're more likely to see the magic smoke from 
driving high power speakers with a low power amp than lower power 
speakers and a high power amp because the former is more likely to 
flat-top and put DC on the speakers.

In my case the magic smoke came courtesy of 35V appearing across the 
speaker when the amp module failed.
