Hi Allen,Our mutual friend, the late Bob Fulton, used to tutor me in about 1973 on the use of " twenty ohms or less DCR for the chokes " which IS a large unit. Now - in 2007, I have changed to ten ohms or less DCR, and under 1/2 a HY, and Low C.
Even if this is may not intuitive to you, it is worth a build and listen Allen!! Use a couple Triad C-40Xs and two 50 uF ( or 40 uF ) caps, high quality, and heavy AWG high-quality hook-up wire. L/C/L/C.
Have fun listening to that! It is "something else" on dynamically recorded music, especially when all the musicians play at once !!
Refreshingly good to hear. A whole new performance level, one that we never even had before in audio.
The " proof " many of you seek of this build approach is very simple, ........ it is in the listening Allen.
Cheers,
Jeff Medwin
