Wait!;
Hammond is getting some of their transformers made in China now? That isn't very nice given that their prices are usually the highest, more then Edcore or the Mexican ones AES sells. You might as well buy generic China ones and pocket the difference.
As for the filter caps, if you are using chokes anyhow, use large film caps like Solen or Panasonic, the China mystery brand ones may work for a few years, but they do not have the best reputation.
