RE: The choke as parallel reactor draws a small amount of AC current.

I forgot to add...

If the Parasitic Capacitance of the 193L Inductor (have you determined this value empirically?) is what makes the tweak work, there are dozens of Power Conditioners out there that have capacitors in parallel that provide all of the benefits you are striving to achieve (it seems.)

What then make the parasitic capacitance of an inductor so special?

Why not just put a capacitor in parallel ?

Just curious to understand the rationale here.

You have some Inductive reactance at 60 Hz doing nothing and the parasitic capacitance it has doing something.

Seems like a cheap tweak if you have a stray choke "inductor" handy to act as a surrogate parallel capacitor.

Could be expensive mail order for a 193L Hammond if you don't.

Something just doesn't add up here, or maybe none of the above matters in the search for the line conditioner tweak of the century.
