"Think of the "draw" current as a one-foot diameter snake going down thru a 10 foot wide hallway. No problem! No?
Then, the snake swallows a nice, juicy 40 foot diameter morsel. That is our pulse-- as in amplifiers and music.
Now, if that hallway was made 50 feet wide instead of 10 feet, NO problem, the snake, meal and all, can still negotiate it!"
Yes, but if the "hallway" (drlowmu's choke output leads) is followed by a very long corridor (the rest of the wire in the choke), then it doesn't matter whether the fattened-up snake can get through the 50 ft hallway or not, if the rest of the corridor it needs to go down is still only 10 ft wide.
The analogy, in any case, is not a very close one, and is not worth pursuing. But the underlying question remains: Why should it make any significant difference at all to replace four inches of the hundred feet of 22 AWG wire in the choke by 12 gauge silver wire? The other 99 feet 8 inches are still the same old 22 AWG wire that is claimed by drlowmu to be too thin.

You ask :
"Why should it make any significant difference at all to replace four inches of the hundred feet of 22 AWG wire in the choke by 12 gauge silver wire? The other 99 feet 8 inches are still the same old 22 AWG wire that is claimed by drlowmu to be too thin."
(1) You have no control over the 99 feet eight inches, its IN the magnetic flux, in the choke, doing its thing.
(2) For the four inches outside of the magnetic flux, you HAVE control, and remember my audio lesson number ONE Chis...
" an inch of bad wire can ruin the musical experience".
I learned that audio lesson YEARS ago, when are YOU going to wake up and smell 'de roses dude ??

"You have no control over the 99 feet eight inches, its IN the magnetic flux, in the choke, doing its thing."There seem to be two possible interpretations of what you are claiming:
a) Yes, it is 99 feet 8 inches of crappy wire, but since you can't do anything about it you will just live with it. In which case, this raises the question as to why it is worth bothering with improving a 4 inch length of the crappy wire, when the overwhelming majority of the crappy wire remains. The percentage effect of such an "improvement" would be negligible.
OR
b) Perhaps you are claiming that the crappy wire ceases to be crappy when it is in a magnetic field. All its previous "inability to keep pace with the timing of the music," or whatever, is miraculously cured by immersing it in a magnetic field. If this is what you are claiming, then perhaps you could give some references to literature where these kinds of phenomena are documented?

The REAL question you need to ask yourself is, why do multiple persons, respectable audiophile builders, who have done this report it sounds better to them?
Could you be overlooking a simple way to improve audio performance, due solely to your very closed mind set ?

Multiple persons on the Tweakers' Forum report that the sound is better when they put crystals in the room, or sprinkle magic dust, or whatever. It proves nothing, except that people are capable of imagining things that are not real.

The carpet looks very clean to me. So.......
