Title: Canadian Parts Suppliers
Post by: mcrracer on September 24, 2016, 08:34:05 am: I lost 8 years of amp building data and sources last year due to an unfortunate accident. I lost all of my parts supplier info. I am attempting to rebuild that data base and need you guys help. I had a supplier in Canada, I don't remember what city, that had great prices on components Does anyone have any Canadian parts suppliers that they would share a link with me? Please help me find these guys. Thanks

http://www.justradios.com/ (http://www.justradios.com/)

They only stock capacitors and resistors but they have a big selection and carry caps in ratings and packages (axial, radial) that I couldn't find elsewhere.

Post by: SnickSound on September 26, 2016, 02:28:36 pm: a1parts.ca has the best prices on Hammond transformers, also has sockets, caps, resistors, terminal strips and such though you can never really be sure what you're ordering as it's mostly a surplus store

AES (tubesandmore.com) currently has a 15% off promo for international customers with discounted rates on DHL 1-day delivery.

And Mouser is great because you can show in CAD$, and as long as you use standard shipping (which I believe is free for orders over 100$) you won't get any surprise duty fees.
