What is the most basic measurement setup required to measure:
a) Saturation point of an inductor
b) Difference in linear or non-linear distortion caused by different capacitor qualities and types
Reason. For my 3 way I want to "cheap out" on large value inductors and capacitors. This means looking at series NP electrolytic capacitors and iron core inductors.
My ears cannot tell the difference between iron core and air core inductors. I was hoping to put some science / objective measurement behind my design choices and was wondering how fancy a measurement setup I might need (or get away with).
Thanks,
David.
