I rarely disagree with Jerry, but here I must. 1 KHz has a wavelength of 
about twelve inches. An unstopped 30-foot organ pipe produces a 32 Hz 
fundamental. And so on.

A tenth of a wavelength is very much realized even in Rhode Island <G>. 
Cable resistance is important in almost any setup, but complex 
components are not.
