Is this true? I went to Jalan Pasar for the first time today, and didn't have any luck finding an chip amps (OPA2132/2227). Also no luck with a Panasonic/ALPS potentiometers, and decent looking audio interconnects (picked up a lot of dodgy looking ones though...)

Do you guys get all your stuff from Farnell, or should I try Octave Electronics?
