chinese counterfeitng

I own dartzeel amp and preamp. I was checking out pricing and noticed dartzeel amp selling for $650 on ebay. I checked into this and they make it look externally the same but obviously not internally. The sellers were mainly from China.  If they can make the amp look real I bet is would be an easy process to fake a cable or anything else for that matter

Manufacturing quality is not country specific, It’s quality control specific. Are Hegel amps crap? Why not? Perhaps because somebody is making sure they’re not. American car makers started making utterly awful cars decades ago which opened the door to Japanese cars that were of far higher quality...now American cars are fine, still...I do think it’s sort of funny that AQ will dispose of fake cables for you, and I imagine a giant furnace for that task. Also, where are genuine AQ cables made? I just looked at the box my AQ speaker cables came in..."Engineered and Assembled in USA, Perfect Surface Metals Made in USA (yay), Cable Made in China."
