[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 74105, member: 122"] Haha, that's even worse :) For Caps, you can go with the Rubycon YXF's from Kopp or you can go with the Panny FC's from RS. For resistors, you want to at least go for the new Vishay MRS metal film range from RS. Personally I prefer Dale's, but you can't get 'em here. You can even try HOLCO's from RS, but I've not tried them myself. Lower values are only ever WIMA's. MKP/MKS near the PSU and FKP near signals as a rule of thumb. The PCB makes provision for both the ALPS RK27 (Blue Velvet) and the RK16 type pots. Get the Blue Velvet if funds allow, they are pricey from RS though so I have them imported as well (but there's a minimum MOQ). As you can see, component choice can make or break any project and I'd rather use something from a known entity than get the no-name stuff from the local guys. That's the only way to ensure consistency. [/QUOTE]
