Re: [Evolver] Re: Connecting headphones-the comment of my brother

I'm not sure but I guess he's refering to the law V=R.I .
V is the voltage issued by the evolver.
If R (impedance of the headphone) is decreasing towards 0, I is increasing.
At the limit I=0, you are doing a short-circuit, I is infinite.

Not knowing how the evolver is working internally and not beeing a 
electronical engineer, I'm not sure that V is constant and if a "infinite" 
current draw can damage the evolver, it's power supply, or the headphones.
