where to buy LM3875 in the UK?

[seventynine]

hi, new here, just a quickie; i tried to order an LM3875 from mad about sound and apparently they no longer stock them.

i just wondered if there was any places in the UK that stock them anymore?

failing that, i tried to order one from audiosector, and it wont let me use my credit card with there paypal checkout (paypal seems to hate me)

id rather order from the UK, as theres the whole import duty, increased delivery costs, and longer delivery times you have to deal with, but if theres no other option then i was wondering where else is there to order one from? or will audiosector accept credit card directly?

thanks in advance

Farnell have them in stock and are happy to accept credit card orders over the phone. They're a bit expensive at £3.44 each in small quantities (just checked on the website) but they'll get to you the next day normally.

This may be of use!

RS components also stocks those in the UK, you could probably order and pick it up from your closest service centre like I do, to save the postage.

ahh, i actually meant them in kit form, should have made that more clear, although that last list seems pretty comprehensive (abeit without the PCB board)

Normally items under a certain weight do not require any kinda declaration at least for the US Postal Service. In other words...it's prolly duty free to buy from a source in the US. I don't wanna advertise for these guys but Techdiy and Ezamps are US diyers putting out kits...and prolly others.

I'm sure Peter will sort you out if you email him.

ive managed to hook myself up with a paypal account, so it should be good to go with audiosector - whats the delivery time with ordering things to the UK?

thanks for the help btw

Hmm, what's with the deja vu posts Nordic?

You'll have to ask Peter (from Audiosector) what his current schedule is like, but once it's off it shouldn't take more 3-5 days to get here. You'll probably get away with duty anyway.

Hi latham,

Just to let you know taht I ordered a kit from Chipamps.com (before peter split off to form AudioSector). Peter actually supplied me a kit from Canada and I didn't have to pay any import duty.

The kit is great (ridiculously good sound for the cost) and Peter is great to deal with.

LM3875 available from Hi-Fi Parts

Hello. I came accross this thread by chance. You can buy the LM3875 from Hi-Fi Parts - The Audio Parts Specialists . The store audio parts too. I have ordered from them and they offer a great deal. They are much cheaper than Farnell and RS components. Alternatively you can just type hi-fi parts in google and they should be on the first page. Hope you found this information helpful.
