Best place to buy pots, knobs & sliders

#1

Hi Guys, im new here!
Shortly after buying the "Make Analog Synthesizers" book, I realized I would have to invest years if I wanted to make a synth that would be something special... It seems Axoloti is my new hope!

Anyhow, I would like to get started building my first physical synth soon and would like to hear recommendations of online places in the EU where I can find parts suited for my Axoloti.
- I know of "Thonk" and "Doepfers" page, but thats pretty much it... Hope to hear back from you guys.

I'm based in the US, but it's worth checking some of these large electronics suppliers EU shipping rates:

Mouser (most comprehensive, learning curve to navigate -- worth it, quality)
Tayda (cheap and easy to navigate for beginners -- not always the highest quality components, but fine most times)
Digikey
Allied Electronics
Jameco

Bitches Love My Switches ships world wide. They also mostly serve the guitar pedal DIY community, but do have lots of knobs and switches. Their prices are great!
