Hi James,

I mistakenly assumed that the amp was monophonic, but in fact I
misunderstood what was really going on.  It is a stereo amp, which I
was able to confirm earlier tonight.  The braid is ground, and the two
leads are L and R.

I've been searching far and wide for a practice amp in kit form.  I've
found one:

Others exist, but are just in schematic form, no kit:

It sure would be nice to know of others.  I've destroyed enough nice
computer speakers for one day!  :)

Thanks again for all of this very useful information from everyone.
