Ok, but can I be sure I buy the original sanken transistors there? Digikey is official distributor. Sanken gives this information and I am sure of that. But Profusion? I have never heard of this company.
And are you sure that these are original Sanken transistors?
I apologize for my suspicion, but I need 10 pairs and it is a lot of money, at least for me. Therefore, I must have 100% certainty.
Maybe someone else bought transistors from this store and can confirm this? I will be grateful.
Thanks for each answers given!
When it is from another manufacturer it is indicated on Profusion (other, Unisonic, etc...), so in my opinion no problem for that.

Heyyyy Tranzystor.
PM me, and we´ll figure out something.
A good many years ago I bought a 100 pairs with same production number
on both NPN and PNP´s from Danish chain "HiFi-klubben"´s service department, as they stopped servicing Accuphase. I still have some "floating" around, and I guarantee you, these are genuine
.
As I said... PM me, if you are interrested.

Sorry to say, but they do NOT look as fakes, and probably are not
Yes i.'m sorry those are fake for sure also!!

Profusion is a distributor as far as I am aware, they don't manufcacture anything.
/U.
Also nobody called parts fro Profusion fake.
Off topic: (my opinion)
Some of the alternative parts are good, like Linear Systems.
Some are bad/inferior, like ISC.
Anyway, should we start some "how to handle fakes on eBay" thread?
I just had a many weeks long adventure with eBay buyer protection.
Result was that I spent loads of money (and time) on a document from an expert stating that the parts are fake. After that I got my money back.
But only for parts, not for the document.

Considering the Body of material on this subject, I find it surprising that people get so indignant when they buy off of Ebay and don't get the "good stuff" and often for ghetto prices.
How to handle fakes: don't buy from sources that sell fakes.
No extended Threads going to offer a Cure. You got had, move on.
First of all: I do not care about my 70€.
I care more about the fact that I got fakes from a big German company with a good reputation.
For example I could share the document here to give others a template.
Fakes cannot be returned legally, so either get a document or return them as broken/wrong item.
Not doing anything is feeding the fake component business.
"Don't buy from sources that sell fakes" I guess this is what we all are aiming at...maybe in different ways.
Hi,
for those, who are looking for replacements try the InchangeSemi 2SA1215/1216, 2SC2921/2922 icssemi.cn
Those seem to be well reputed and some even claim they´d sound better than the Sanken originals.
I can´t verify that, but Yo can order the ICS parts for low cost at Reichelt.de.
You can download the Datasheets there.
