Re: Jon Risch and others: power handling abilities of a Risch filter with four inductors.

Jon seems to maintain that parallelling 2 chokes on each leg for the power amp circuit (for the increased capacitance needs???) is the way to go.

I tried that and found that it did choke dynamics on my McCormack DNA .5 amp. I tried the Lukasz modification, by unwinding the choke so that only 10-15 turns remained on the shaft. This helped a lot and brought back the dynamics. However I found it much better still with some basic x rated caps across the line and no chokes at all (aka Audio Prism Power Line filter). The two didn't work well together for me and the chokes brought out a more realistic midrange - so I kept those.

I have my preamp on a separate outlet, but my sources are all plugged into the JRPC with separately choked outlets. I figure I'm only using one source at a time so not much extra draw (except for phono where the motor and phono pre are on together).

Good luck,
Bob
