Solder, heat-shrink, tape-wrap.

Most wire nuts contain steel springs and are bad for sound. The connection will be dirty and noisy once the copper corrodes. You would get better results, IMO, by splicing and soldering the connections. Use polyolefin heat-shrink and beef up the insulation with rubber electrical tape.

If you connect the choke body to AC safety-earth, try it with a direct connection and with an anti-parallel pair of 6-amp rectifier diodes in the safety-earth lead.
