Has anyone tried these?  Any idea on if they improved the transparency of the XO?

Thanks for any info on these.


Again it is the Cross coil I'm interested in.

From Parts express:

Jantzen Cross-Coil Copper Foil Inductors

The Jantzen Cross-Coils are premium-quality, audiophile-grade copper foil inductors. They feature 99.99% pure copper foil windings separated by an extremely thin layer of polypropylene film and tightly wrapped around a hardwood core, resulting in very low magnetoshrinkage factor and virtually zero FM distortion. The foil approach outperforms conventional round-wire inductors by providing over 12 times the surface area through which high-frequency electrons can travel, minimizing skin-effect problems and providing consistently low power-distortion figures. Very close to the "ideal inductor" in all respects, every coil goes through a specially developed Jantzen anti-oxidizing treatment and measurement procedure prior to packaging. Tolerance, +/-3.0%; power handling: 350 watts RMS for 16 gauge, 500 watts RMS for 14 gauge and 650 watts RMS for 12 gauge.

Hi Marbles,
No idea on how good the janztens are, but it seems like more places carry alpha core inductors.

Interesting. Prices seem about comparable to Alphacore.

Marbles,
Just to confuse you some more, here is another one to look at
