Are their IC's new ? Grey market ? (if such a thing exists) I bought some transformers and simple TTL's from them recently. One of the transformers seemed DOA. The chips seemed to work ok, but the leads were dull and I was a little suspicious of their origin. (The other vendors mentioned, Active, JDR and Jameco, I've had uniformly good experiences with. Active has big markups, but it's local and has a reasonable inventory, and the staff is professional.)
