Two short sentences:
1. We don’t so much hear distortion levels as distortion mechanisms.
2. You need to understand the [distortion] mechanism before you can design a test that will quantify it sensibly.
True or false? Is in one true and the other false? Please explain...

An inductor with significant resistance can overheat, and if a conjugate circuit directly across an amp fails the impedance may drop to near 1 ohm. You won't necessarily know or hear it until it's too late (smoke/fire)...
Your customers have asked about this..
I've attached a plot of potential dissipation for a 50W amp, and the low impedance that will arise if this 18mH(3.2ohm) inductor was to short after becoming hot.. (simple saturation of the core would also reduce the impedance).

Inductor heat calculations for conjugate (L4)

According to the Transformer And Inductor Design Handbook (Figure 6-4), the allowable dissipation is preferrably no more than 2W and up to 5W.

Mass plays a role in the short term. Device dissipation depends on the ability of heat to escape, which is partly dependent on surface area.
The inductor will dissipate around 75% more than the resistor in this circuit. Even by your own estimate here it needs to be able to deal with 17.5W. It has a surface area of around 70cm2.

I did not know that I had 'customers' and hence I suspect a loaded question would follow.

I'm confident the man got a clause written on a piece of paper stored in his back pocket saying "I'm not responsible for anything I have ever expressed in my whole life, in particular anything remotely related to audio."
ps. where does those quotes come from, hyperlink is missing.

"We don’t so much smell fart levels as fart (digestion?) mechanisms."
"You need to understand the fart before you can design a test that will quantify it sensibly.
"Is in one...."
Awful handling of the queens language to boot.
Also very poor idea to design a tailored measurement system from what you think you are about to measure as it will probably skew your readings. All in that post is so corny that it must be trolling. It cant be a sincere addition to this fine forum. It just can not.

Do three wrongs plus the one I'm making right now make a right? Sure as heck read as someone kicking a hornets nest hoping to stir up more pontification.
