Here are some reasons

1. DIY - you can select and use much better parts, like polyprop caps for better performance

2. the DIY design may be better than standard shelf filters, seriously

3. Can build the DIY filter into a distributor to feed more than one device

4. DIY (if you can do it) is much more fun and educational  smile.gif

Cons

1. May be more costly, even cost your life if not careful

2. More lehcheh

1. Poly caps are not "better", they have their pros and cons compared with other material, and is not a "one-size-fits-all" panacea that audiophile like to believe they are. Claiming otherwise shows lack of understanding of engineering principle that turned Hi-Fi into a joke it is now.

2. Yes, but what the OP wanted to build was a bog standard filter you can buy anywhere for cheap. Honestly, why bother?

3. You can feed as many device you want with an off-the -shelf choke. No different than DIY.

4. Educational? Get an oscilloscope or data capture equipment then we'll talk about "educational". All I see here is just audiophile dogma repeated ad nauseum.

GOOD. Now that TS has scratched that itch of going DIY and "boutique" components, why don't he go ahead and ABX his baby with off-the-shelf unit like I suggested in the previous thread. He'll be very surprised how little/non-existent difference in sound "boutique"/Audiophool components make other than make the snake-oil traders rich.
