PYE Compressor/Limiter Thread *boards shipping* BOM up!

I'll have to read thru that cascaded pi filter a few times.......
Makes sense now , however , can this filter only be achieved with an inductor , is there a more modern alternative or is this a design limitation in the way this filter circuit operates ?

Also , very painful to find 150uf 50v

I'm not sure about this particular design, but nowhere in the original PYE such high voltages are found. I suppose anything in the 25-35V range should be fine.

As for the SMT adapter, this is probably the only way to go given that a lot of through-hole components are obsolete now.

It is the most cost effective answer even today. There is probably one in every cellphone.
