Hi all,
I just ordered a pile of parts for a 2204 project. I ordered the chassis, naked board & face plates from Nik at Ceriatone. All the other components are coming from Metropoulos Amplification. I will probably order a cabinet from Trinity amps when I get to that point.
The only thing I haven't decided on yet is the transformers & choke. Looking for opinions. I'm considering either the Metroamp Drake clones or Mercury Magnetics.
Opinions? Comments? Any other options I should consider? I want to put together a killer 2204 here, but will the extra cost of the MM's over the Drakes make any real difference? The MM's certainly LOOK cool, but that's not really a consideration!
If anyone has any other comments on components (caps, resistors, pots, whatever), feel free to pass them along!
If this one works out I think I might try a 1987x or a 1986 down the road. I've got the DIY bug bad people!
