What a disappointment - my fav relays areevaporated! I was recently sourcing parts Zaratustra II amp. It needs 8 time delay relays. I past, during the Melquiades project I bought a half doses of them and was listing if they were sonically transparent The Magnecraft’s TDR series relays (~$36 each) turned out to be absolutely perfect, with no effect to sound at all, and I love to use them, cutting a lot of unnecessary corners. In fact TDR series have many other very cool features in them and considering a complete absents of any sonic consequences they were perfect, really perfect.
I was trying to get 8 TDRSOXB relays but Mouser gave a delivery time of 104 days (!!!!). It looks like they move production in China and they did not make them for a while… what a hell of a disappointment! I wasted quite a lot of time and efforts to find them and I do not want yo go over it again…
