Inductor Analysis On MIT Speaker Cable MITerminator 5

I never thought that my post about the mysterious box of the MIT Cable MITerminator 5 here is become the most views in this blog.

Continue from the last post, I will going deeper with the inductor specification.
So I open up again this MITerminator 5 box.

I clean up the inductor from the remaining glue for better looking and it is now ready to measure.

The outer diameter of the inductor is 25 mm.

The height is 10 mm.

The wire diameter is 0.7 mm.

The inside diameter is 16 mm and the iron core diameter is 15 mm. 





When measure the inductor value using Atmel based LCR meter, the value is 0,25 mH with the total resistance is 0,7 ohm.


 The iron core is just an insert to the coil housing, so it is very easy to remove it.


 Without the iron core, the inductance is reduce and become 0,21 mH with the resistance at 0,7 ohm.


That is all I can share about the inductor specification from the "secret" box of the MIT speaker cable. 

Hope this information can pay-off our curiosity so far.

    according to your schematic drawing no effect of the inductor because 18awg cable bypassing the inductor or if its a bi wire cable then there is a effect on 22awg cable for Mid and HF definitly

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation. The op-amps are considerably cheap and an interchangeable electronic components but they are not built for the same function. So in this discussion, I will focus on the modern Vs. vintage high performance op-amps in the simple non-inverting pre-amplifier gain stage.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC. This is simply because I have plenty of the resources (from broken old unit CD player of course) and ability to build them up. If you think this kind a recycle from old un-used unit to become something useful, than I should stated myself giving contribute for greener world:) After all DAC that I built in this year, I think it is better for me to list them up again in one single page like this. Then I will rank them up in a simple tier list. The reason for this, so you all know what my opinion about of those vintage multibit R2R DAC especially in the sound quality.

TDA1543 DAC Review In 2021

It is a fine day and as usual I am reading and searching online contents related to almost anything I like. During my search, I stop to the few online forum discuss about a simple DAC using TDA1543 DAC IC. The discussion about this DAC was about 3 years ago, and the latest was about a year ago. Quite new and overall discussion about this DAC sound quality mostly are positive. It is interesting topic anyway especially I was built this TDA1543 DAC long time ago in 2016. At that time, I combine this DAC with Tripath amplifier  here  and  here  before it sold in 2019. That is also my first DIY DAC and I am quite enjoyed this DAC so much, at that time. The background story about this, previously I was using Sony Playstation SCPH-1002 as my reference CD Player. The reason I moved to this TDA1543 DAC is because the CD optic inside the Playstation is wear out and I cannot find the replacement for it. I pretty remember the sound quality of this TDA1543 DAC is quite comparable...
