I'm working on a Marantz 1060 that has one bad driver transistor, 2SA959. The recommended replacement is ST Micro 2N3440. Have you priced these transistors lately? Mouser lists ST Micro 2N3440 as obsolete and unavailable. They also list Microsemi 2N3440L at $21.61 and Central Semi 2N3440 at $2.03. What secret sauce is Microsemi using to make them 10x more expensive. Any opinions on the Central Semi brand?
