Encompass (the old Tritronics) sources their stuff from Sony. They are ISO Supply-Chain certified and anti-counterfeit/gray market certified as well.
Just expensive, unlike the old TriTronics. We could call and get the same sales lady each time, but not so now. Tritronics, MAT, MCM (pre-Premier/Farnell), ASTI, and Fox were all the independent dealer needed back in the late 80s/90s/00s.....enter Orion and Funai and splat! No support or accessibility.
And yes, Shendengen made the originals.
