Yes, I have checked out Par Metal. And thanks for the tip on component selection too. Let's just say I've been a little "non-progressive" about accepting the "Global Economy" nature of the Internet. I've pretty much been buying components from the three sources of partsconnexion.com, thetubestore.com, and digikey.ca simply because they ship out of Canada. The delivery charges have been extremely low, often delivered next day, and I have no surprises with unpredictable extra charges such as duty. And between the three of them, I've been able to find everything I need. My problem isn't the lack of low cost options, but convincing myself the lower cost components can sound just as good. Mind you, I've never used Jensen caps at $35 a pop or $6 Caddock resistors, but it would certainly help a lot if I can just settle for the Orange Drops for coupling instead of the AuriCaps.
