I think it's a little unfair to say Parts Connexion "marks everything up" AFAIK comparing their list prices has been pretty consistent with other US vendors.
If you ask Chris at PC nicely you can usually get 20% off at PC, which is their sale price.
Jupiter copper foil at SC is essentially 20% off so, in this case it’s kind of a wash. I haven't done an extensive comparison of every single brand, but as a result for things I get I go through PC, but of course, it always helps to compare prices. My free to build speaker kit uses Peerless woofers, which are usually $20/ea. cheaper at Madisound thatn Parts-Express for instance. Even if things cost the same, Madisound has better shipping rates (or so I think) than PE.
By the way, Clarity ESA and MR caps are on big close-out sales at both PartsConnection (PC) and Madisound right now. Sonic doesn't carry Clarity.
Madisound also carries Mundorf and Clarity but I’ve only seen them on sale when being discontinued.
