The BUF-03 (and other PMI parts) can be gotten through Newark Electronics.
They've got many branches throughout the country.  One number I pulled out
was their branch in Martinez, CA - (415)372-3782.  They have a $25 min order
and $3.80 s&h charge.  Be explicit about how you want parts shipped though.
The last time I ordered from them, they took the liberty (or initiative) of
shippng 2nd day air.

The BUF-03s don't come cheap - 12.65 each for the BUF-03FJ and 21.64 for
the BUF-03FJ (better specs).

Someone asked me about power supplies and I built one of the newer ones
from Old Colony (KG-5 by Walt Jung, Rich Markell, Gary Galo AA 4/90)
and it's performed well.  It improved the sound of my CD player noticably.
I got the board, the Linear Technology regulators and some WIMA caps from
Old Colony.  Too bad they charge an arm and a leg for stuff.

Is there some other retail source for Linear Technology components?
