Sourcing Credit Ideas

Curious to hear folks' approach - to those in the stressed / distressed credit space, how have you had success sourcing differentiated ideas? Obviously a simple price / YTM screen will get you a laundry list of names, but what other tricks do folks use to find ideas a bit more off the run (that maybe wouldn't show up on a >10% YTM screen, i.e. buying a par credit that previously traded well above par)?
