In Reply to: 10 ohms DCR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! posted by Dave Cigna on March 10, 2007 at 09:30:58:
Hi Dave,The Triad I'd prefer over the Signal, as the Triad posseses about three times the inductance, not too big and heavy a core, is well made, and rated for 600 mA current. I use under 60 mA through them, and have no worries with that part. The Triads and /or its similar "cousins" operate in amps known to me, in the L1 spot, at +490 VDC and never have failed, ever.
Two weeks ago, Greg and I listend to his vintage UTC L that was 1/2 HY, ONLY 2 ohms, rated at 1.2 A, and it sounded TERRIBLE. Too big, too heavy, too much core and too much wire inside it !! I mean, the $10.79 Triad smoked this 2 ohm UTC, the UTC lost everything we had gained, the music's presentation was ALL out of time and dynamically ruined. What else can I say ??!!

a few turns of heavy duty Litz wire wrapped around an engine block (steel, of course) nwould be perfect ...
Actually a dinky $10.79 Triad C-40X from Allied Electronics 1-800-433- 5700 will be way better bro'. C.Y. loved it in Korea last year...showed him the way.Jeff Medwin
Thanks, Jeff, for your honest report. It's a good data point.It appears that there might be more to all of this than we have figured out yet, so I hope you won't be offended if I'm not too quick to draw any conclusions about what differences between the Triad and UTC were actually responsible for the differences in perceived sound.

Dave,No problem, it was a good question I thought. I'd go back and reread Dennis'posts of mid 2006, as its really HIS baby, I'm just the messenger who finally got around to implementing and hearing it last month on Greg's RCA field coil horn system.
