Thanks to Shaz for starting this list.

Here's another source in Chicagoland:

Dietrich RC-Deluxe and Sound Caulk
Gypsum Supply Co.
724 Parkwood Ave.
Romeoville, IL 60446
(815) 293-3225

Dietrich tells me that this company sells all their metal framing products, but I didn't price them.

I did, however, buy sound caulk (OSI-SC175) from them for $3.50/29 oz tube.
