Now it is true that SOME equipment may have very low output
impedance and will be affected by shorting to another output,
but I have personally never encountered such equipment.

I don't have an iPod, but it probably comes under "such equipment".
Whether it will be affected can usually be determined by trying it :-)

I have NOT heard AZ's "horrible distortion" even when shorting my
iPod's L/R headphone outputs. (Both 5G Video and iPod Touch)
Perhaps we should stay away from AZ.
