I'm pretty clueless when it comes to inductors, so bare with me here...
but shouldn't we be considering things other than just the 1H value? like well... uhhh... let's see... um... core material? winding pattern? Q factor? The "pure air" and other fabulous things that strangeandbouncy had to say about the 553 could disappear with the use of a different part. Anyone who's heard the difference between a cheap inductor and a good inductor in an EQ knows what I'm talking about. One is unpleasant to listen to while the other one sounds awesome, both possessing the same inductance value.
That said, I think we need to either A) shell out the cash for something that's guaranteed to sound great, regardless of how similar it sounds to the original A*P*I parts, OR B) get an original 553 and send the inductors to Jenrick for analysis so we'd then have the proper data to be shopping for a substitute.
If it's going to sound like it's cheap pricetag then why the f**k would want to build it? Because when it comes to coils you are almost always paying for performance. Just some food for thought. :guinness:
