I have found Hammond transformers to work, but unless you derate by a bit, you risk having them make mechanical noise. For 100mA I'd try a 10H 200mA choke (the 193J) but you're probably safest using the 193M (300mA). It's what I generally use on my projects.

I need 500mA 21 Lbs. monster ???

  FWIW, I would not try to draw more than 170 mA. thru a Hammond 193Q serving as the 1st inductor in a pure choke I/P filter. That 1st inductor takes a ROYAL beating. OTOH, if a pseudo choke I/P filter, with its "fudge factor" cap. is employed, you can safely draw a bit more current. The small capacitance at the filter's I/P definitely eases some of the stress the 1st inductor is subjected to.

  - Thanks Eli -seems like Heyboer custom unit is - limono 18:29:13 03/30/08 (0)
    in order.I heard of some special epoxy versions of Hammond chokes with long waiting time . I need 220mA pure input choke filter for stereo 300 (bxl) amp

    I can speak to this. I think I did +/- 1uf at the input of some power amps I built, then some 5hy @ 500ma Hammond chokes following. Pulling 300ma+ through at idle, the chokes run cool and quiet.
