LFOscalator	Parts What is the best way of procurring parts for small production runs of products? Is it best to go to Mouser, Digi-Key, and so on? Or do you go direct to the manufacturer? Does anybody have any favorite parts suppliers they feel like mentioning? Obviously to compete you can't compromise on quality. But then again you need to keep costs low to provide a reasonable price. How do you do this? LFO
