No shame - only deep, deep pride in a hobby well done!Don't listen to me - I have not sold any $150,000 speakers. -

Re: Should i be ashamed?
Wow. I wish I had access to an inventory like that now - it's hard to test x-over mods when you're missing a particular capacitor, inductor or resistor to complete the modOriginally posted by [email protected] View Post

Re: Should i be ashamed?
Yes Lowell, there is great shame in that collection. I will help you assuage that shame by adopting the larger coils - say the ones between 2.8 and 7.0mH. You will feel great relief and a sense of calm in knowing that those coils are going to a fine home, filled with woofers needing low crossover points (cue the Sara McLaughlin music).
I stand here at the ready, in service to my community.
You're welcome.

110, that's about as many drivers I have on the shelf(s) collecting dust... :o"It is only Scrooge McDuck and others with a personality disorder who have money as their goal"Comment

Re: Should i be ashamed?
Had I started this hobby prior to getting married and having children I'm sure my inductor stock would be very similar :D Now I feel a bit guilty when I stop at HD on the way home from work and pick up a $7 can of Danish oil
For the record, my wife has NEVER EVER discouraged or questioned my interest in this hobby or my purchases. Heck, she bought me my Dewalt router combo for Christmas last year

Re: Should i be ashamed?
Looks similar to my collection, but mine is smaller now that I wind most of my own.
