You have the idea generally correct, but your terminology is all wrong. The inductance of the choke is a constant.

Added AC line chokes inside CD changer...
From other experiments I know each CD changer I own adds about '700' noise to the AC line. *the noise tester runs from 000 to 999 for testing audio AC lines. The average PS Audio noise Sniffer can eat up about 150 to 200. just for an example.
I decided to add a pair of chokes to the AC wiring inside the CD changer (plenty of space) I had on hand a pair of MIller 5502 chokes left over from a Magnepan tweak. I put one on the hot, one on the neutral. So they look sturdy enough to be used for 120v.
The thing is, the incoming AC voltage is only 60v/60v balanced (technical) power anyway.Stuck them in sloppy soldering and all. Wrapped the leads up with Teflon tape...Sound is slightly smoother with ten minutes of listening..Sadly I do NOT have the tester noise sniffer handy to see what they did to lower the noise exiting the player...Now f I can only find the 5520 chokes I never used.. They seem to be lost.. (so I can do the other changer I use. I was going to use the 5520 in the first place. but as I wrote, they have vanished into the wilds of my junk piles.
