I found some _huge_ ferrite cores in a dumpster at work.
Before I grab them and take them home, I'd like to know if they are any good for audio.
here's what I know:
3C 85 printed on them.
Farnell label on the bag, reading:
N2-5B
PHILIPS 431202037350 E-Kern 49x25
Farnell order code 177-779 (not valid anymore)
I did a quick, rough measurement of AL (with a single
turn), giving something in the 3500nH range.
They are so huge, it should be no problem to wind
500 ... 600 turns to get Inductors in the 1H range.
Big question: Will it be worth the effort? Will they sound
good in a passive EQ or the like?
Any hints and opinions welcome!
