Just a note for DIYers here. If you don't know about Octopart, you're probably paying too much. Look up your non-audiophile parts here and compare prices. For some pots I need, Digi-Key was almost $7 each with discounts for over 50. Mouser was about a buck cheaper, with discounts at 10. Arrow was about $4.40 with FREE OVERNIGHT shipping! ARROW TTFMF!
Handmade has lost it since losing Cardas products and lots of good caps (PPFX, RTE, etc.). No free shipping, but overnight delivery and fair prices. They still have a stock of great sounding IRC resistors, but they too are dwindling. No idea what to use once the GS-3s are gone. The PRP 1/2 watters seem okay, but no 3-watt equivalent.
