Question about famous Hammond tweak

I have been using several Hammond 193L chokes in my system. As recommended I have wired the two leads from the choke to AC plus and AC neutral very close to the component using an AC cable "splitter." I believe this allows the choke to filter in parallel the high frequencies from the AC.

I am curious as to what would happen if the choke was wired with one lead going to the AC plus and the other going to AC ground. Would this actually shunt the high frequency noise to earth?

One reason I ask is that I have an Equitech balanced transformer at the head of the system and I thought it might be interesting to filter only one leg (60V) of the AC.
