| HARD to FIND COMPONENTS |
| If you have read our business philosophy you know that
we do not view ourselves as components suppliers - neither structured or inventoried.
However, over time there have been a few components have routinely been difficult for our
customers to locate. In response we have created an inventory of these "hard to
find" devices. You will find them listed in the last section of our pricesheet. |

| PROJECT STOPPERS |
| We know the frustration of having your project come to
a standstill because of one or two parts which are out of stock or otherwise impossible to
obtain. So, in addition to the supplying those components which have proven "hard to
find" you may call us to back fill your parts list with those last few items. Since
our inventory is structured to support our assembled module customers, we usually have
what you need on hand. Please e-mail us with
your list for pricing and delivery. |

| CAE "SEMI-PACS"
PROJECT COMPONENT PACKAGES |
| About half of you enjoy sourcing your own parts (our
blank board package). But, many of you have told us that the most difficult part is
finding the semiconductors. So we have put together a package of all of the
required the semiconductors for each project ("semi-pacs" if you will).
Included are the rectifier & zener diodes, bipolar transistors, J-FET's,
MOS-FET's, op-amps, and IC's needed for the associated project. There are two types of
semi-pacs: STANDARD and PREMIUM. They are the same except that the premium semi-pac
substitutes our own proprietary op-amps (OPA series) when specified for the regulator
circuits. The standard semi-pac includes bi-fet type National or Motorola devices. The
part numbers and prices are listed with the associated project in our pricesheet. |

| CAE "VALVE SERIES" & REGULATOR
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS |
REGULATORS
Almost all of our projects utilize high speed servo regulators to support the audio
circuitry. These regulators have been designed to be sonically inert - that is to have no
sonic fingerprint but rather permit the audio circuit to function in an zero impedance
wide bandwidth environment. A primary component in the performance of our regulators is
the operational amplifier used. Our OPA-xR series of operational amplifiers are available
to support that application.AMPLIFIERS (VALVE SERIES)
Although firmly dedicated to tube audio, we had at one time offered several solid state
based products. We thoroughly researched the op-amps for these projects until we found one
with the attributes of tube amplification. That is with lots of ambiance, moderate warmth,
and not a trace of hardness. As it turned out, they were from a limited production run -
but we did purchase quite a large quantity. So we will offer them to you for use in your
system. Our customers have been very pleased with them in CD player, crossover, and
equalizer duty. They are listed in our pricesheet as the OPA-xA
series. They are available in the standard single and dual pinout 8pin mini-dip
configuration. |
