Wow. Best wishes to them - they have helped us a number of times.

If in Germany/Europe Reichelt is great. Even has quite some tube stock.

I have ordered from them before over here in the US.

Studio Electronics has removed the message and are back to "normal"

Sometimes they have server issues also. Sounds like a one man operation with maybe the wife doing the books.

I use them mostly for potentiometers for guitar amps.

Wow, I guess we are now in the 'unforeseeable' future!

Here today, gone tomorrow (the message that is)...

No kidding about the high prices! Over $20 for an OPA2134?!

yeah...sometimes he's the only one with something you can't get but it's nice to know they're legit when you need something.... Probably the Burr Brown vs TI name printing making those so high. ...some people like certain names for whatever reason..... iirc if he even does sell something in production it isn't that over the top...but it's been a while since I've looked around...
