That’s likely true. But if he’s saying they’re the same as Chinese brand, that’s nonsense.

I use a lot of connectors from Amphenol Audio which are made in China. The difference between Amphenol & equivalent Chinese is obvious on inspection. Mating is very solid and contact plating looks much nicer. Price difference about double. I think the Amphenol connectors are very fairly priced considering the quality differences. I believe the same about their RF connectors.
