Very true. Srajan mentions in his Guangzhou show report and.or Melody factory tour the same gray market and R & D (rip-off and duplicate) problems faced by a number of audio manufacturers. In most cases, small manufacturers are helpless....in other cases they aren't even aware of the problem until a customer contacts the distributor in a given country, asking for return authorization for a repair. Then the manufacturer finds out that the piece in question wasn't even produced by their factory. There are many stories like this all over the world. The crux of the matter is greed by unethical shadow manufacturers, and a willing public interested in getting a bargain. And the beat goes on.
