Ted, repeating your words will not help to dilute this thread. Ya' gotta learn the quote feature here, and please stop with the repeat posts.
That may very well be the case, but you also have to put it into context (see below)
If you look at the email chain screenshot (which is now reduced to an attachment on the quote from me) at the beginning of this post, this was from my very close friend. This verifies that the fuses pictured on his 5 year old thread did, in fact, come from your factory. Yes, they were ordered through an authorized dealer. If you take a close look at the email, right above the confirmation number, you will see that.....and I quote, "SR drop-shipped this".
That means that it came from your factory, or wherever it is that you ship your products from.
Yet, you still state that they did not come from you. I don't get that, nor will I argue with you about this. I'd rather let the readers of this thread decide on their own who to trust or not trust, but I will say this. My friend (of which I have known for over half of his life) has worked with me, partnered up in a business with me, almost started a speaker company with me and he has been a close, personal friend and audio buddy of mine for many, many trips around the sun. He is one of those select few whose ears I trust and obviously, I have already trusted him with my families/my own livelihood. In all of the years I have known him, he is as straight a shooter as one would ever meet. He has no agendas, nor any reason for competition within what you sell.
The proof is in the pudding. I show you proof that they came straight from your factory AND that they were also purchased from an authorized dealer.....yet, you proceed to tell me that they are fakes? Okay, then explain why your factory is sending out fakes, because as clearly shown, this is exactly where they came from.
The friend I am referring too here (that posted that 5 year old thread I linked) knows about this thread and so far, has not chimed in, but he is probably following it at this point. He may or may not chime in but given the texts I have received today from him? He's not so warm and bubbly about your denial. I'll keep the "actual" words private and just leave it at that.
