Hello David - and Welcome to diyAudio!!!! 
It's always good to see someone that's a couple of years older than me around here....
Most likely the same outfits you were getting your repair parts from would be a good place to start I would think.
Good sources here in the States would be....
Digi-key Electronic Components Distributor | DigiKey Corp. | US Home Page
Mouser Mouser Electronics - Electronic Component Distributor
Parts Express Parts Express: the #1 source for audio, video & speaker building components

Hi Dave
I get a lot of my parts (tag board and transformers for guitar amps) from Ampmaker. RS Components also get a lot of my business for most of the passives. Transformers for hi fi, I tend to look to Variable Voltage Technology 'Vvt Ltd' design and make Wound Components including Transformers, Chokes and special Coil Winding.

Blimey,what a responce.As I'm new I don't know how to thank you guys individually, but can I just say thanks?
I've had my eye on the Pass Zen class A amp,which I gather will heat my house while I listen to the music. And now I've some avenues to explore re parts. And what an interesting read some of the threads are.......seems I'm not the only bonkers one here!!!.how refreshing.
And even my wife (aka Sweetpea) is happy,as I've a new hobby.
First question,(sorry guys,there'll be more) do the FET's in the Zen have to be a matched pair?.
Cheers.
