Is it possible to obtain a non-fake IC? I know fakes of active electronic parts like transistors and chips exist. Which schematic should I use? I want a tried and tested circuit.
Can I obtain a good chip from uk.rs-online.com?

Your question isn't exactly clear. Looking for a non-fake LM3886? There's a good chance that anything you buy, other than Digikey and Mauser, is fake. I DON'T TRUST ANYONE. I WILL NOT TRUST. NEVER.

Last time I trusted a place called reliable and 4 fake MJ15003Gs were sold to me. I don't trust anymore and it's a personal thing. RS may be reliable but not for me.
Why don't you just buy direct from TI then? It doesn't get any more genuine than that. As far as I know anyone can set up an account with TI. It's about as simple as setting up an account with any other online store. They charge a flat fee for shipping. I seem to recall about $17 but don't remember if that's CAD or USD.
You can also buy through Mouser or Digikey. Both are authorized distributors of TI components.

RS is very good, i hve no complain so far. The only problem is for some components they hve the criteria of a min quantity order, price is little higher too. But shipping is free & fast.
My country is a tax haven. There is a 60% tax here. For example, if you buy a car, you buy 2 of them from the state. Digikey is the best for me. 20% tax.
Turkey is a nice country, good culture & taste. We are also aware of your president.
In terms of power, my country is the strongest in the Middle East and even in Europe. In his time, he brought the whole of Europe to its knees and expelled the British wherever they came from. However, our current president has dragged the country into an economic deadlock and the Turkish nation has been dragged into ignorance. That's why taxes went through the roof.
I said we are aware of Mr.Erdogan. He is not much friendly towards us but maybe there is a reason for that although we don't see any. And yes, Colonialism destroyed (unthinkable damage) many country including India but we are not weak that's why India is now one of the most influential & strongest country in the world. A living oldest civilization. Anyway this is not the right place to discuss these topics, we should back to DIY discussions.
