Why are choke power supplies still not common?


My Rowland model 8 ( original version with choke) seems fairly immune to power supply issues.. i have tried several power cords with little or no improvement, yet on lesser power supplies they make a big difference. Why don't manufacturers utilize this power supply more?

Actually a good number of components still use them. I have seen them in Modwrights, Lamms, Metronomes, McIntoshes (my MC240 has a big one), Karans, Border Patrols, Blue Circles, Gryphons, etc.

I think choke filters are still highly relevant and advantageous because caps don't filter the same way. But many companies prefer to boost profit or reduce price by skipping out on it because they are indeed expensive.
