Fake Audioquest Sky Cables


Recently i have bought 2 sets of Audioquest Sky cables from 2 different Senior Audiogon members and have sent them to audioquest for verification and found that both are fakes. I have contacted the members and got my money back . But the thing is the senior members never knew that they are fake as they got them from other sellers. From then i moved to Anticables and i have only 1 set or Audioquest sky which i have purchased from the dealer. I am posting this so that other audiogoners are aware of the fake cables .

It seems that AQ cables are the most common brand for counterfeits from China. I too asked for verification from a AQ rep and mine were authentic.

I have learned that AQ cables are made in China, so I don't know what to think anymore. Some of the Chinese dealers may be selling the real stuff.
