RE: Maxing stock chokes and DHT filament transformers


One thing to consider is this: while amplifiers DRAW small currents, they are, after all, really pulsed devices.

And that's when large, high quality wire and close-coupled "bird's nest" wiring makes a whopping difference-- when the leading edge of a pulse hits all of the components in the amp.

The question is then-- what does it do with the pulse when the existing wiring and parts are already drawing current. Where does the pulse have room to go?

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!
