A scary thought from Ellery911

I've thought about this for a long time and being a newbie to high end I just had to ask.

In a world where you can get fake Luis Vuitton bags, fake high $ watches (Rolex, Patek Phillipe etc), and knock-offs of just about any high $ product, have there been any instances of fake high end stereo equipment and if so, how does one avoid being the unlucky buyer?

A few years ago, Jadis was complaining that a lot of Jadis knockoffs were being sold in the Far East. They issued some statements telling audiophiles to stay away from Jadis monoblocks being sold out of Hong Kong for very low prices.

Personally, this should scare the heck out of a lot of us.
