Thanks joecool,
(I got stuck in progress...)
My concern about the speaker-swap came from an exchange here (although some years ago) that the Vox Mini3 is (was?) peculiar about it and would fry the preamp if particular care wasn't given (like, the ground was not really a ground, etc.) Is this still a problem with the new issue of Mini3-G2?
Other concern – widely shared and confusing – WHY, oh Why can't be Lithium batteries used? The dire warning on the Mini states "use only alkaline AA batteries". Will it go "pooof" if I use a Lithium battery, output almost exactly matching that of the Mini's switching power's? My Lithium cell is 12v-3A (nominal) center positive, the Mini is 12v-1A (nominal?).
Is the pack of 6 x 1.5v AA (9 volts) better? I produce seemingly unending heaps of dead AAs week after week...
In general, perhaps a modern, universal battery powering system should be developed and employed (and it appears that the Lithiums is the way) instead of the clumsy, inefficient and expensive 4-6-8 x AA alkalines?
Thanks,
Paul Gabor
