Since I don't do it often, I don't remember how to do the calculation:
I had originally posted my inductor thoughts in the form of a question and got an answer much like yours....but their was a minority thought that it would be a couple db.
The bass panel on a 1.6 is what.... about 4.1 ohms and the inductor is 0.4 ohms?
Anyway, I'm not going to try to figure out the math again, but the difference in output wouldn't be all THAT much......but I didn't want to mess with it by using an aftermarket inductor of 25% to 50% less resistance. Also, the overkill crowd uses 12ga wire for 'power handling'.....comeon, really? Do you think you're gonna get even a 14ga warm? Let alone cook it?
Also, I'm thinking about using regular magnet wire....the inductor is about 4" OD and the coil is square in cross section....about 1" x 1" I can't remember the intended 'core' size, but do remember it was a standard PVC size......All the info is in my spreadsheet, which I'll send out on request.
Also, I'm nuts and want the 'perfect' inductor, in which the coil is square in cross section. I see many coils built on common cores, for example, which means few are even close to optimum dimensions.
The Solons are considered one of the better budget caps.....No question about it. That you can better them is pretty much a given. Even the modest Clarity SA I've considered is a step up. Now, if the OTHER measures of the caps don't get me, I'll be OK. I have no idea of the ESR or the inductance of any of the caps in question.
Too much is never enough
