Go up to 10k input resistors - less stress on the op-amp inputs.

As the op-amp will be across the +/- power rails, the output will swing
between + and -, almost reaching the power rail. If you want 5V out, connect
a 1N4148 to the output of the opamp (anode to the output). Connect a 1k8
from the cathode of the diode to the output jack. Connect a 1k from the
output jack to GND
