Choke differences.

RF chokes are rated by how much DC current they can carry without overheating and still deliver the rated inductance at some RF test frequency. In the cases of the 5502 and 5522, there will be differences in the wire gauge and possibly in the ferrite slug. My guess is the sonic differences are due primarily to the differences in wire gauge.

These chokes are cheap enough to permit experimentation. Someone could take some apart and rewind them with their favorite audiophile wire. Keeping the same number of turns would preserve the inductance. My setup would not allow this without massive surgery, and I have other experiments to do.
