I just purchased and received some of these

I recently purchased and received two pair of these 079's from Partsconnexion (cardboard box, no hologram), and made two PC's that I will now have to take apart so that I can get a refund. I have spent my money (and my time) on a product that I thought was made by a well-established, highly regarded manufacturer, and not some knock-off shop. At a minimum, I will be out the heatshrink, quicksilver gold, possibly techflex, and for sure my time - even if they do refund me for the plugs.

I have happily purchased from Partsconnexion for some years, and never expected I would have to "verify" the authenticity of products received from them. I was certainly disappointed to read about this, and while your discussion is pursuasive, I cannot believe Partsconnexion truly attempted to sell counterfit products to arguably one of the most anal groups on the planet - a bunch of DIY audiophiles! I will trust there is a better explanation.
