Inductors, PSUs, Amps

Won · 10th December 2001, 07:38 PM

I recently bought a speaker kit that came with some passive xover components. Since I plan on using an active crossover, I don't have any need for the inductors (I'll use some of the capacitors for DC-protection on the tweeters).

So what would be good uses for a pair of .82 and .47 mH inductors? The obvious things that came to mind were either an inductor-loaded PSU, or just a pi-filter in a capacitor-loaded PSU, although I'm not particularly familiar with what are good values for these.

I recall reading snippets of info about inductor-loaded amplifiers (using inductors instead of resistors or current-sources). It might've been on http://www.tubecad.com, or someone mentioning ways of dropping the dissipation on a SoZ...probably both. Does anyone have any clue about this? My google searches tend to yield more noise than signal...

I'm going to 'revive' this thread just this once to see if I can scare up any replies...maybe if I posted in the "tubes" forum...Won
