Percy Audio is close to an one-man operation, or so I heard, and Michael has reportedly been ill with a flu. I placed an order a week ago and have heard nothing back from him. I decided to pay him first rather than waiting for him to send me an invoice, hoping that would give him an extra incentive to work faster. Hope this strategy would work. From my experience Percy Audio usualy responds in about five or six business days. Usually take two to three weeks, more or less, to receive the parts.
Welborne I had some high hopes for, but their service is at best average. They did send me a confirmation e-mail for the order, but never e-mailed me the tracking number. And they failed to respond to my repeated e-mail inquiries. I did get the parts in faster than the time would have taken with Percy, but the lack of attention from Welborne after the sale didn't sit well with me.
Now there's a new store called Reference Audio Mods (www.referenceaudiomods.com). They have Audiocom mod products (Superclock, etc.), Black Gate caps, and soft recovery diodes. I haven't dealt with these guys yet, but their price on BG is better than most other online vendors I could find. Also, their website is easier to navigate than Welborne. Hope they would start stocking some resistors. :)
