Volleyguy,I will say this. If you purchased the North Creek inductors you will not feel that you are missing anything. The 8 awg are fairly large inductors. Compared to the other brands of inductors I have already mentioned the North Creek's dwarf...

Wadia 270/27 vs. Esoteric P70/D70

Isolation Devices for Digital
