    OPA627 single-channel SOIC op-amps are discounted at Parts Connexion, $US 17.47 or $CAD 23.38 each:

    https://partsconnexion.com/collections/monolithic-ic/products/burr-brown-opamps-opa-627au-single-smt

    This is a little over half what Mouser is currently charging. Digikey's prices are similar to Mouser's but they're out of stock in all packaging options.

    Single-channel, so you'll need a 2-to-1 adapter board with the appropriate pin format. Here's the one for the 8-pin DIP socket in yer WHAMMY.

    PCX has some other good discounts currently too, and free shipping for orders over $100.

    Performance Audio, a good source of pro audio gear and DIY cable supplies, has free CONUS shipping with no minimum (vs their usual $49 min) through December 31.

    Their Amphenol RCA connectors are really well priced, and they also stock various connectors from Canare, Neutrik, Switchcraft & WBT among other brands; and a lot of Canare & Mogami cable. They'll also custom-make cables for a flat fee ($8 for each RCA or XLR channel) in addition to component costs; example.

    Huh, they are selling midline WBT RCA connectors for $10 a pair... cheaper than their in house connectors. The rest of their WBT options are priced normally, so maybe a price mistake? Looking at the stock images and what look like actual images, the set screw is different - like the knock offs from Aliexpress. As long as tolerances are good, probably won't matter for the price, but interesting nonetheless. https://www.performanceaudio.com/pr...ng-rca-plugs-solder-type-1-pair-1-red-1-white

    Thanks!

    I did wonder about their Amphenol RCAs too - these being about half the price of other outlets - but having bought pairs from them previously, the packaging looks genuine...

    Don't really follow prices for these but a quick scan of expired head-fi ads suggests this isn't a horrible new price:
    HD660s2 for $398 on Amazon

    Home Page:
    Sony A7IV for $1798
    Plus you get "LG TONE Free Noise Cancellation True Wireless Bluetooth FP9 Earbuds w/Charging Case"
    Buy Dig with coupon ADD22336604047EV

    You also get $50 from Sony when you register.

    Other deals on Sony camera stuff at SlickDeals with the same promo code, but this is the biggest discount, I think.

    I happen to have the A7IV and I love it.

    Those of you looking for a good price on a phono cartridge should check out HHV in Germany.

    I'm in the USA, and I found that the good conversion rate to the Euro, the lack of VAT, and the cheap shipping cost for a lightweight item like a cartridge combined to make for a really great deal.

    I just bought an Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge for $386 including shipping. That's for the cartridge, not just a replacement stylus.

    The retail price for the Bronze is $499, and I haven't seen it elsewhere for anywhere close to HHV's price. And when you also factor in state sales tax for purchases in the USA, HHV's price looks even better.
