Suggestions for reliable component vendors

[fragletrollet]

Kits, pcbs and specific parts (pardon the obvious mentions)

JLM Audio - neat projects, power supplies and other very useful utility kits/boards and parts

Aml - neve kits, trafos & inductors, special potmeters

Capi - api kits, trafos and some specific useful parts like switches

Ka electronics - mastering PCB's and rare opamps, great prices on THAT IC's

Frontpanels.de - frontpanel service and enclosure hardware, parts etc - great source for switches

Tubesandmore - tubes and parts

UTM transformers

Tiny Sine - tools, parts, labgear/meters, projects

Blore-Edwards in the UK has helped me out of more than one jam when I needed a custom part for a hard-to-find application (especially Neve parts)

Eleshop.eu - really nice, not too large vendor for all your soldering and test-equipment needs for the lab. Nice videos comparing models, and recommendations.

Thonk great for pots, knobs and synth stuff

Rapid is another good UK based distributor.

It’s also worth mentioning that there are a number of good eBay sellers out there. I’ve bought a lot of styroflex and other caps from this one.

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

Mouser has almost 10,000 of them for less than $6.50 a pop. Very weird.

I like UralTone, a Finnish company. Fun shop and nice owner. https://en.uraltone.com/

I wonder if body builders from Finland are referred to as 'fit and finnish'.

 

[Whoops]

I use these ones and I'm very happy with all of them:

Mouser
Farnell

Banzai music
Musikding
Tube-town

HiFi Collective and Sonic Craft have been great sources for caps and resistors for the tube projects I’ve built lately. Both also offer matching.

I recently ordered NOS Mills non-inductive wirewound resistors from Handmade Electronics, at a considerably lower price compared to others. They have a lot of other parts, as well.
