    Take a look at https://www.audiohobby.eu/en/
    The site may take some time to go through, but the prices are much better than Parts Express.
    Not quite as quick to ship, but the cost difference may mean you might be able to go to the Audio Supreme caps.

        In my experience, parts from audiohobby arrive faster than those from Parts Express - an added benefit.

                Issues with C-Coil inductors from Jantzen
                by ligonk
                I am using some C-Coil inductors from Jantzen for my Modula TMM build. Them, along with every other inductor and part get measured prior to using them in my crossover. Every other inductor i have measured in the past ends up being ever so slightly above the stated inductance, which is great because...

                Solen 10 and 12 awg inductors
                by TNRRClassic
                Does anyone have experience with the 10 awg or 12 awg air core inductors from Solen? I am wondering if they are a good substitute for foil inductors, as the resistance is about the same. Also, they are a little cheaper. I've personally iused an air core inductor larger than 14 awg. I've always used...

                by bd1000
                I have been reading a lot lately and wanting to build a set of front speakers for the beginning of my HT setup. Well I was thinking about starting off with the Modula MTs for practice and then I could use those as surrounds later when I upgrade the fronts. But, I decided might as well go with the NatPs...

                by jebcamaro
                I am new here and new to home theater all together or for that matter DIY speakers. I have built several car audio systems in my day, but never crossed over to the HT realm. I currently have been using an ancient Onkyo Dolby Prologic 1st Gen surround sound amp with some Cerwin Vega 12`s and Infinity...
