RE: Maxing stock chokes and DHT filament transformers

You must be talking about losses in the wire... Silver plated copper wire of 26AWG is 130 ohms per km and 12AWG 6 ohms per km . Massive difference between the two at 1km . At 10cm the 26AWG is 0.013 ohms and the 12AWG 0.0006 ohms . Now compare the DCR of the choke to these figures and work out the comparative losses . Then apply the same to passing 0.5mA anode current of a 12AX7 or the grid of the 12AX7 . Irrelevant really , isn't it ?

ps your hack jobs always look awful !
