RE: Maxing stock chokes and DHT filament transformers

"If modding a stock choke, as I am doing here, I would "dismiss" the AWG of the winding, IF it has sufficient HY ( it does, about 500 mHY measured ) for my design's goal and sufficiently low overall DCR ( it does, 10 Ohms DCR which is very good. )"

But you haven't properly addressed GargOyle's point, which is one that I and others have also raised in the past. You beef up the short lengths of wire emerging from the choke because you consider them to be of inadequate gauge, while happily leaving the vastly greater lengths of the same wire inside the choke untouched, because you can't access them. This means that the percentage effect that your modifications will have is going to be tiny. And yet you claim that your mutilation of the output leads has a dramatic effect. It simply isn't plausible.
