If one inductor has a core that may explain JW's concern. The magnetic behaviour of the core would then affect performance.
Jim you say you tend to avoid inductors in audio amps, are you saying they are not necessary?
If i removed all the inductors i presume the amp wont work?
What do inductors do in audio amps?
Ok thanks Jim thats interesting.
May i ask what are the odds of the Chinese inductors being the exact same size and dimensions as the better quality types Quad originally used?
I already tried to PM John but my message wouldnt go through because apparently his message box has reached capacity and he needs to delete some of his mails before he can recieve new ones. If you happen to have his personal email would you mind asking him if he would be willing to let you pass it onto me?
@Chris88 did you ever get anywhere with this? As a new owner of a Quad 909 I'm keen to know.John, I seem to recall you mentioned once that Quad China used locally made and cheaper inductors for the Quad 909, would you be able to recall who was the original uk based manufacture for the inductors?
