RE: How to butcher a choke in 8 easy steps

I did not read all posts. But, if I was concerned about a choke wire lead gage I would also have to address the winding gage as a matter of follow up engineering wise. I view it something like adding a 3/4" water pipe (lead in) connected to a 3/8" water pipe (winding).

Why not contact Heyboer Transformer in MI and specify a heavy gage wire throughout the entire choke. If a certain wire lead is wanted, simply mail the lead in wire to Heyboer.

No doubt a few DIYers hear something different with a 'special' lead on a choke, but the choke is electrically distant from the amplifier circuitry. The last PS filter capacitor is much closer.

I am a fan of low DCR chokes for superior load regulation.

My 2 cents.
