Hi all,

I am a newbie DIYer in Pune. I am planning to build a notch filter for sub-woofer bass management. This is my first experiment after a break of about 15 years, so amongst usual problems of having lost touch with electronics, finding suppliers is a tough problem. I'll make a separate post in this forum (parts) with detailed requirements.

Thanks.

Things have improved currently. I wouldn't say it is very good. U can buy parts on the net from element14 or RS components in India.

Both these sites look good. They don't seem to stock in India, though. Some of the amplifier chips I searched were stocked either in UK, Singapore or US. Their prices are shown in rupees and include usual taxes, so we don't have to worry about import duties etc. Shipping times aren't mentioned. Will they actually import them in a reasonable time (1 week) for an order of just 1 or 2 chips?

Greetings from Bangalore. After lots of frustration with attempts to get 1-off quality PCBs at DIY prices (for myself and my DIY customers), I finally devised my own solution. I have posted it under Vendor Bazaar titled "European Quality 1-off PCBs at DIY-Friendly Prices" today. You can also see the details on audesine.com under the Proto PCBs tab. I am taking the liberty to put this small post in this mighty useful thread for the Indian DIY community, which I have referred to on countless occasions. Questions welcome.
Cheers - Ramkumar

There is a catch with element14. You need to place a minimum order. I tried ordering two TDA7293 from element14, I was redirected to kitsnspares website saying I had too small an order. Haven't tried with RS yet.

I had also checked LM3886 with shops near Pasodya Vithoba, Budhwar peth, Pune. They'll get these chips from Mumbai in 1-2 days on an order with an advance. They won't give a quote on a phone. You have to go to the shop to make an order, at which time they'll call their Mumbai supplier and confirm a retail price. I felt like LM3886 is an extremely rare diamond that sells in 1-odd quantity in an year, so the shop doesn't have a quote and won't give a quote without ascertaining that a genuine buyer is requesting a quote .

I decided to wait till my next Mumbai visit, which is this weekend. I'll go to lamington road. Will post more information after that.

I just checked that element14's min order qty is 1 with both these chips. I recently bought the 3886 from them. They probably directed you to KitsnSpares because you do not have an "account" with element14.
