Was he the Danish/European distributor?

Here's the problem the way I see it Flemming -- if someone is devious enough to fake a cable like Nordost, that person is going to surf the net for pictures and reproduce the wooden blocks & stencil them with the serial number he saw off the web.

Therefore the unknowing buyer gets hosed and in itself defeats the whole authentication purpose & ones peace of mind.

Again, though my dealer would check a serial number with Nordost if I asked. He cautions though, as long as it's not a reoccurring request.

Best Sir,

Bob
