HI all
I live in Delhi and was planning on building my DIY amps using amp boards or I may say PeeCeeBee's and also a low profile Desktop amp using LM1875. I looked online and with help of some forum members I found few sites selling the LM1875 chip and it was priced around rs180 + Taxes + shipping and I thought it was decent. But then at suggestion of @Aniket i visited old Delhi, and I found the same Chip at rs60 taxes included (a Genuine chip).
I thought to look out for the parts in PeeCeeBee BOM there so I could save some. Though I could find the active genuine parts, but couldn't find the high quality passive parts like vishay dale, wima, panasonic/Nichicon/ELNA etc. over there. But one thing surprised me there that I didn't came across any counterfeit parts clamming to be of good brands, Believe me I tried a lot shops all selling local and Chinese brands. Also need some inductors for speakers cross over a separate project in its own.
so its call for help from any one who knows any Physical Store in Delhi NCR that sells those Genuine parts it would be Great help to me for the project. if not any store that sells those at reasonable rates.
While at the topic would also like to know weather these parts do make a perceivable improvement in sonic quality?
THANKS
