What pot covers are you using on #1 (ego driver + lowrider)?  I don't think I have seen those before.

Fair enough.  I'm only building for personal use.  And aside from some PT2399s, and some knobs, I haven't really had a problem with sourcing components from Tayda.  Nevertheless it is hard to ignore the consensus from the higher volume builders/posters on here that Tayda can be suspect.  I'm sure there is a reason that the 'pros' are moving away from Tayda.  QA time for verifying parts are in spec/working isn't free...

Well I just bought (50) 10n Wima caps from tayda for $.16/ea as they were 5% tolerance and smaller size than the least expensive Wima caps from Mouser.  For the same price at Mouser I needed to move up to a bigger physical size and/or higher tolerance (10-20%).  When I ran the numbers yesterday, the 10n caps were the only values that seemed to be a better deal at Tayda.  Otherwise Mouser is the less expensive source (for the physical dimensions & tolerance I wanted).  Anyway, the devil is in the details.  And hopefully the caps will be up to spec...
