Becket....you missed the point.

Parts Connection was not buying "real" Oyaide products, they were buying fakes. If they were purchasing legitimate Oyaide products, they would have placed their orders and received product through Joe Cohen and the Lotus Group, who is the authorized importer for North America. Further, Oyaide did not "cut him (sic) out of the pipe line"....Oyaide had nothing to do with the products Parts Connection was buying out of mainland China, or wherever those fake parts originated.

There is a long history of fake and grey market products originating out of China. Some of the top luxury companies in the world have been victim to these practices (want to buy a Gucci handbag for $20?). 60 Minutes and 6moons have covered some of these stories. Now Oyaide, over the last couple of years, has become one of the latest victims in the audio world. There are a lot of high-end electronics and cabling floating around for sale all over the world....reliability is often questionable, and the buyer has zero recourse. It pays to make your purchases through an authorized dealer or distributor, don't you think?
