Calculate the roll-over frequency into a 30uf or 50uF cap, you'll be surprised. These are components typical of speaker crossovers after all.

See this to solve for - 3dB frequency easily .Jeff
That's fine, Jeff, but the point is that the formula ASSUMES a constant inductance with respect to frequency, which, as has been pointed out, is NOT a valid assumption for most real world inductors.Please, can you give us more details on the choke? What kind of core does it have (steel, ferrite, or air)? That is the critical question in determining what effect it has on the power supply.
As a general rule (assuming constant flux level), as frequency goes up, inductance goes down so i would expect more inductance at 120hz than at say 10Khz.dave
A bit off-topic, have you tried air-core inductors? Not cheap but you do report a correlation between reducing the amount of iron in the inductor and sound quality. Might as well try the limit.
