Lots of good info, Kevin.
One clarification to my original post: in addition to the compliance resistor, I've seen a resistor placed in between the cathode follower and the bounding network (see the R with the asterisk below). The value of this resistor is often 10k. I presume this is serving a different function and that it might also reduce the signal somewhat, depending on the values of it and the compliance resistor, slope resistor, etc.
