Anyone heard from or ordered from Classdaudio.com (Tom) lately?
I sent my damaged SDS-470 (blown input) back to Tom at his request, and it's getting close to 2 years that it's been in his hands (shipped February 2022). The last response I received was October 2022 with a "still can't find the parts" response. I am wondering if he is still in business.

Thanks!
 
I guess I should have been more clear when I stated the last response was in October 2022...I have sent 5 requests for an update since then with no replies. Tom had been fairly prompt with replies, simple though they were..."Parts still arent available", but nothing in a long time.
 
He didn't specify. This was the last reply i received:
"It's easy to find the parts, the problem the only ones on the market are counterfeit. I can assure you, we have tried every avenue as this has hurt our business so much, so if available anywhere, we would know as I keep searching a few times a week. These parts have not been available for over a year now. We will only get through trusted companies because every time we got from other places or chip brokers they have been counterfeit. They'll work for a few week or a month and then they will fail. it's hard to believe but the Chinese have flooded the world with counterfeit chips of every kind."
