I do not know their sources, but have had nothing but great service.

Counterfeit products and parts have been rampant for at least 20 years. I serve on the Standards Committee of the Audio Engineering Society, along with engineers who work for major manufacturers. Back then, US and EU mfrs of top quality mics and connectors were reporting serious problems with counterfeits of some of their mainstream products. Mics didn't sound the same, connectors were enough out of mechanical tolerance that they didn't mate properly, and there were dissimilar metal issues.

Also in that time frame, I was seeing reports from aircraft mfrs that structural fasteners were counterfeit, like rated parts that were not. Can have serious consequences in an aircraft or on one of our towers!
