Re: Does Hammond choke 193L need break-in?

That is correct...it must be plugged in all the time. The 193L in parallel only draws 64mA on a 120v 60Hz line...that's nothing...the choke is designed for 300mA. The choke will remain ice cold. Just to be clear...I do not recommed this choke for 220v or 240v 50Hz applications. It should still be safe with those voltages, but I haven't had good results. On the other hand I have had excellent results with 120v 50/60Hz applications.

You should use a 14ga x 3 power cord. Use the earth ground wire to ground the choke at the chassis mount. It makes a audible difference. Also...keep the power cord as short as possible for best effect....under 3 feet.
