I bought Audioquest optilink-5 for $120.00 from eBay Seller in Hong Kong not long ago. IT'S FAKE. It sounds so dull. My AQ optilink-A that I bought from local Magnolia HiFi sounds much much better.
Cheap Interconnects from Hong Kong
I've noticed that interconnects on eBay seem to be listed quite a bit more cheaply than on other sites. I'm specifically looking at the Audioquest King Cobra.
Anyway, since most interconnects on eBay are shipped from Hong Kong, are there problems with these not always being genuine? I know HK sellers can be very competitive with generic stuff like USB cables, but I can't imagine how they'd be able to acquire AQ cables more cheaply than other sellers.
Anyone have experience buying interconnects on eBay?
