Components arrived from Farnell already

Most of the components I ordered from Farnell have already arrived (some of the resistors are on back-order as they were out of stock). I'm very impressed with the speed of delivery of the in-stock items, as I ordered them on Friday afternoon, and they arrived Monday morning well packaged, well labeled, and with a clear invoice explaining which items were contained and which were on back-order. So far I'm very impressed.

Farnell to the rescue

After seeing my post about the difficulties I had buying components from Jaycar, Marco Ryan from Farnell sent me an email, suggesting I try their website. I did, I found the components I needed them, and ordered them online in a few minutes.

I've been very impressed with Farnell so far. Their website could stand being a little faster, but that's being really picky - it was easy to find the parts I needed, and the ordering process was very user-friendly (even down to correcting minimum order quantity of some components, and notifying me about it).

In addition to the resistors I needed I also ordered some high-intensity blue LEDs for internal case lighting (they'll come on when the user opens the door to look at the amplifier) and some heat-shrink tubing to clean up connections.

Now I just get to sit around and wait impatiently for the parts to arrive so I can continue work :-)
