- I agree totally with Henry. DO NOT buy part from Sonic Frontiers(SF)!!!
- If I wanted to get rich I would open an operation like SF. Buy parts in
- large quantities direct from the manufacturer. Then build amps and
- pre-amps with said parts and offer the euip. at decent prices. Finally,
- rip off hobbyists by charging 10 times cost for parts!!! Sounds like a
- winner to me. If you want caps and resistors, talk to the manufacturer
- directly. And to the original poster, BUF-03's are $15 plus tax from
- Newark in Mississaga.
