I'm planning on putting together a cmoy pocket amp for my headphones, but I'm having trouble finding a suitable supplier for the parts in the part list.

Anyone know where I can get the parts from the link below?

And if no luck with those there's
http://www.activecomponents.com/
who are a NZ 'broker' for Mouser, so you can buy small quantities, low cost components without exorbitant international shipping charges.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Thanks, I found the NZ.Mouser site, but $39 for shipping less than $20 worth of components is rather exorbitant. I'll give them a go.

DigiKey rather than Mouser. Active gets a weekly scheduled container from Mouser so you should not pay that much in shipping, but not sure if Active will deal with hobbyists. RS and E14 are great but expensive (personally prefer E14 over RS).

You can never have enough Volvos!

I think I may end up buying the pre made pcb from jdslabs and following their component list as they suggest parts you can get completely from Mouser.

But alas, the Mrs went out and bought a lot of groceries, so maybe next week?
