I'll try to answer...

...power supply output is essentially DC with some AC, "hum," riding "on top of it.", also known as ripple.
Choke acts a s a filter and as such it will give you less ripple.

This is not such a big factor with a low watt amp like Champ but the cost of a choke is not big, so why not.

Does that answer you question?

Ok that makes sense. So its kinda acting like a cap can or your standard filter caps.

... well not like a cap. It acts like a resistor, but a resistor with the inductance and that is what makes ripple go away.
