Default Audio Mute Switch

Joerg...

I'm about to do my first FET audio gate. Heretofore (for the last 30 years)
I've been relying on an opamp output at some positive voltage, a decently
high value resistor off the output (say, 100K or so), then a bipolar shunt
to ground, then another decently high value resistor to a summing junction.
I'd like to reduce the package count and not have an opamp (or it's cheap
cousin the cmos ibuffer with a feedback resistor) for each audio channel.

I'm leaning towards initial testing with a 2N7000 ... cheap, readily
available, predictable Vgs turnon voltage, and all the rest of it.

Comments?
