Where are you guys getting your connectors and adapters. Things like RCA barrels, f to RCA's, bnc to RCA. Also Velcro and hardware like lags, zip tie toggles.
I was just looking at mono price, and it seems with my gold level pricing, it's not that bad. I've been using sky but it just seems like there would be a better option.
Send a PM if needed. I'm about to place a giant stock order in a week and would love some more options.

We have a local electrical shop that gives us contractor pricing and has everything from compression fitting, barrels, zip ties, etc, to cameras and baluns. I am sure every town has a similar shop. Great store with consistent inventory and goos people to deal with. Recently when I was on a job in Newport I found an almost exact duplicate store. Ask around and find the one in your town. If it doesnt exist.....OPEN ONE. http://shop.willyselectronics.com/http://www.marvac.com/

Calrad Imports. It's an old brand, and their graphics and name sometimes make them look old-fashioned, but they are up to date an ON IT.

You guys are so lucky sometimes, in Canada pricing sucks when you factor shipping so I only buy locally or within Canada if I can, sometimes on parts, my compression ends cost me about 3 bucks a pop for DC or monster, I wanted to switch over to liberty but the only disty for them I thought is ridiculous so I never bothered. Hilti Togglers I get for 120.00 per box of 100, not sure if thats good or not. Velcro I've purchased from a store that sells it by the roll about 15 dollars for 30 feet. Any one know or recommend a solid source for Canadians? PS anyone thats switched to Liberty pm me (if you don't mind that is) and let me know what you pay for ends? I'm not sure what they should be costing.

I'm not sure what they should be costing. My old company ordered everything through Staub Electronics. Hilti toggles were about $115 per box shipped. don't remember what ends and stuff were but it was all pretty reasonable. Another previous employeer only dealt with Liberty. I think per end was $2-3. If I am corrent the only Liberty disty in Canada is Trends, at least that is who we ordered from My current employeer order through primespec or provo depending on what we need/want, not sure of pricing though. I personally prefer the Liberty stuff. Never problems with ends and the compression tool and coax strippers are perfect (as long as you use liberty wire). I never had bad ends when using liberty. I would highly recommend switching from Monster to Liberty.

Lots of great info. Think I'm excited about liberty. Guess will see on Friday when I get my pricing.
Still need a good hardware source, like fastenal or maybe custom install supply.

FYI, seems like part express is the most expensive when it comes to connectors and adapters. Mono so far is the cheapest. Still looking forward to Libertys pricing.

Mono so far is the cheapest. Still looking forward to Libertys pricing. you have to pick and choose what to get from each source......for example parts express has the best prices for snap-n-seal compression fittings which is what i use....mono has the best price and quality on f to bnc adapters, a lot of other ones i've tried are very difficult to lock in....you just have to order some from each and see what is best for you.... by the way, parts express has very good pricing on most of their stuff, but you have to have an account to get that pricing, if you just went to the site and looked at the prices then you saw the retail pricing..... Also, skywalker for just a few things.....
