i bought some 1n34a's from tayda about 18 months or so ago.. never again. they all sounded like shit.

The two things that i will not buy from Tayda: JFETs and anything germanium

There's quite a lot of stuff that I won't buy from Tayda, but I have gotten their 1N34A (the larger germanium ones) and they have tested and sound as I would expect from 1N34A. My only complaint with them is that they break very easily. I have broken tons of them while simply bending the legs
