Just querying whether these people supply genuine parts & not fakes.
Anyone with experience of them ?

they supply both. They seem to be brokers, so they get parts from where they can. I ordered some parts a while ago and they admitted that at the price they were likely not genuine. If the price is too good to be true then they are likely to be fake. I found them good to deal with. If you look at a rare jfet like 2sj109, they have them at $0.70 each upto $22.00. There are members here who have had good experiences with them, so roll the dice🙂
I bought 2 TDA1541A from them because they sent me a photo on which they looked genuine.
Then I received the package which contained completely different obviously fake chips.
I gave them negative feedback on e-Bay and then after they gave the money back and removed their offer from all international e-Bay sites, I changed the feedback.
So be careful (make sure you have leverage in case they send you fakes) and ready to give them some hard time.

I've tried them a few times over the years but unfortunately, have received defective/fake parts each time - trying to get a refund is a real time-waster - not recommended at all.
I just received fake 2sk170gr JFETs from UTSource.. The weren’t even JFETs.. Just cheap transistors with the Toshiba numbering..

Thanks Roo2, we need to be kept reminded of these people. Its a a pity they are still in business.
I have bought from them in the past but not anymore. Not worth the risk.
