Digikey is more geared towards corporate buyers, hence
discounts for parts bought in multiples of a thousand!
I actually have had very good experiences with them.
But then I never order less than $30 of stuff from
them. On the plus side, you can BS them for "samples"
sometimes. I gota bunch of different knobs this way
once, another time I got a couple of lengths of
resistors on tape reels(for machine insertion). Now
that Radio Shack is getting out of the electronic geek
market in favor of cell phones and tiny RC cars, ya
gotta go online. Markertek.com is another great source
of cables, adapters and such. Though some of the gear
is MSRP, most things like switchcraft and neutrik
plugs, are cheaper than anything you will find.
