Re: What effects inductance

SK	Re: What effects inductance Oy Vey, I'll put in my $.02 but it's pretty "uneducated"... IMO Inductance is THE MOST USABLE measurement I can make with my LCR meter. I find it much more directly related to output strength than DC resistance as it seems to account for the difference in wire guages. Seems to be pretty much purely mechanical (although it is affecting electrical). Capacitance seems to indicate a bit more about the tone... Of course, there are so many other factors in play that any or all of the measurements are just rough indicators...
