Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

RE: Mouser is great. I love the projects you can save

I've had very good luck and good customer service from Mouser, too. Also with Digi-Key.

And there was an occasion I ordered an RCA jack from Parts Express and they sent me a 10 uF 35 vdc electrolytic. I dropped them an email and they mailed out the proper jack immediately.

And I have to also say, it's really great to have a handy Radio Shack nearby where you can go and get a 2 amp fuse or a 150 ohm resistor etc in a pinch. I'd hate it if Radio Shack vanished.

I miss the hobbyist electronics stores that used to be found in bigger cities, like Chicago where I live. There's really no bricks-and-mortar place here where you can even go to get a shortwave radio or an oscilloscope etc any more. (But there are places in Chicago, like Triode Electronics, where you can get a 12AX7 or a pair of EL34's.)
Science doesn't care what you believe.
