I have bought quite a few items from Tayda. I will vouch for them they are a decent supplier. But all of the resistors they have are the 4-band light-blue garbage. It is true that if you really want high quality and reliable well made stuff, Digikey and Mouser are the best. But always with those two outfits, remember to get out your wallet and empty it very fast. Jameco also has some decent stuff but not as much any more like it was 20 years ago.
