Starting a new 2204 build transformer recommendations?

[ClintN667]

So what are the recommended transformers for Marshall jcm builds these days? I've used classictone in the past and I believe Heybooer on one or two. But what do you guys recommend these days?

If you’re building with intent to mod, I’m exclusive Mercury Magnetics and recommend them. Go paper bobbin and not plastic if you want vintage sounding.

I preferred classicTone OTs with MM PTs before magnetic components went belly up.

I told MM the specs I wanted for my 74 and I got my transformer in 3 weeks delivered.

MM just plain sound good to my ears.

Amp Parts Direct is a good source for both mercury and heyboer, Dan is really helpful. Heyboer are less expensive and sound great.

I had never heard of them before.. thanks for that. I used to live in Altamonte Springs. I'm only an hour away now though.
