Hi all,
I want to make a reactive load for my amp similar to this article by Randall Aiken but it requires a large value inductor with a low DCR. Fortunately I’m targeting a nominal load of 8 ohms so I get to cut the L in half but 25mH still seems to be hard to come by. Erse Audio has one but there’s a 10 pc min and parts express has those and all similar products marked as back ordered. Is there another source that someone could point me too? If not, perhaps someone here can help me piece together the parts to wind my own? It looks like this is a very deep area of science/art so I’m not expecting to “design” this but if I get a spool of 16awg magnetic wire, a decent LCR meter, and someone directs me to the right kind of core could I get this done?
