I bought some wire from them a week ago and prices were better than the usual US sources, as you would expect.

All things Valve try Trevor Lees Audio in Kew, Melbourne. Cheaper than JB HiFi and a wealth of experience with valve equipment of all sizes and prices if you need any mods.


His Speakers are Awesome aswell

Werticus,

I don't know how strong they are on SACD/DVDA but redeye records are very good for obscure items including second hand rarities.

Since when is Werticus a "local supplier"?? 

Back on topic, I had an excellent purchasing experience from http://www.audiomarketplace.com.au, who stocks (amongst other things) drivers from Kevin at diycable.

[Mr Content]

Wow he's got some nice stuff there, thanks for the link John

Darcher Audio
CSS, Mark Audio, SB Acoustics, HiVi and Tang Band drivers as well as lots of misc parts.

[SonicArt]

Hi guys, just wanted to mention Sonic Art: www.sonicartaudio.com
I have been involved in design since Uni days back in the late 80's and put out a range of speakers from around 91 on for a decade. Cables and filters were my main thing from around 1993/94 on. I had a bit of a break around 2005 to 2011, but this year I am busy rebuilding the website and sorting out the product lineup.

All the cable range will be featured, the EVOLUTION AC Mains cable will be back in stock in the next 2 months, and the website will have a full shopping cart setup to make things much easier. Hopefully a months time will see the website updated.

My parts and upgrades range is going to be expanded, I will be stocking Mundorf caps and a few other brands of coupling cap, I will still offer a large range of Cardas fittings for upgrading components, hookup wire etc will still be available.

I am still recognised as the Oracle service and rebuild agent and I will have all the upgrade parts available for the turntable range, as well as the custom Sonic Art acrylic base plates and other components.

Lastly I am working with another Designer in the USA and will have a new SonicArt tube preamp out within the next 6 weeks, this will feature quality cardas fittings, remote volume through ALPS pot, variable gain circuit and the best feature is it runs off batteries! The power supply will be a very simple 12v 12Ah gell cell with a C-Tek smart charger sourced locally (for c-tick requirements). So far in testing the pre is up there with some serious gear, old and new stereophile Class A recommended products have been used as reference. I wont go into it too much, better to wait till the pre is available.
