There's Amateur Electronic Supply, with stores in Milwaukee, Cleveland, Orlando and Las Vegas- they have brick/mortar stores, sell osciloscopes and shortwave radios (no audio gear really though) http://www.aesham.com/
If you need belts for your cassette, open reel or turntable, there's PROJECTOR RECORDER BELT CO., they can get you a belt for almost anything. (They are now part of RUSSELL INDUSTRIES) http://russellind.com/client/download/prb_line.pdf
I've had good luck with Mouser, and Digi-Key also. Newark has also been pretty good for me. Even Allied has been found to have stuff that others do not.
AND- YES!- THERE ARE FAKE TRANSISTORS BEING SOLD ON EBAY!!!!!! I bought some. KA-POOOF! Gilmore's corollary to Murphy's Law: the eBay transistor you saved $5 on will turn out to be a fake and take $500 worth of other hard-to-source semiconductors with it when it shorts.
Science doesn't care what you believe.
