@nerkin if the cables sound good just enjoy. Maybe us who pay full price are the ones getting ripped off! (OK at least I get 20+ % off)
Fake Furutech speaker cables?
Hello from Italy,
I have just purchased a pair or Furutech Evolution II speaker cables from an ebay unofficial dealer in Japan.
The construction is great and the sound is good but something with the packaging got me supicious.
No seals and no documentation at all.
Does anyone of you owns these cables and could send some pictures (cables and packaging)?
Thanks

The pictures on google images could be of fake cables Got it If the cables sound good to you, perfect, no matter Just for not having problems in case one day I want to resell (but who needs documentation for a cable?!?) I just like to find up some technical paper along with expensive stuff Thanks everyone for comments |
I have purchased Furutech rhodium power plugs and recently a Furutech HDMI cable from Japan sellers on ebay and have never had a problem. The items delivered were real Furutech items. However, there are still going to be a high number of FAKE products from a variety of japanese and chinese (mostly chinese) sellers. NOTE: the HDMI cable I got came in a very nice Furutech padded box. It did not have documentation (but who needs documentation for a cable?!?)_ |
There is a huge volume of counterfeit and fake POS build cables being sold on EBay being flogged as legit brand cables ... including Japanese listings and shipped from China On a balance of probabilities, you may have bern exposed . Sample threads below. There are many fakes in eBay, especially from China. https://douglasconnection.com/shop-by-brand/furutech-products/ “.... Caution* Any eBay or Amazon sellers of Furutech products ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FURUTECH DEALERS! Rakuten resellers in Japan ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FURUTECH DEALERS! IF THE PRICE SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS NOT A GENUINE FURUTECH PRODUCT! Caution* There have been confirmed cases of counterfeit products (Furutech replicas) being sold on www.aliexpress.com. Furutech advises against purchasing any “Furutech” labeled product from that site...” Just a sampler of the tsunami of similar threads .. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/are-these-cables-genuine-or-counterfeit.227258/ https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/furukawa-power-cables https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/fake-cables-on-the-auction-site-heads-up.622296/ You can guess and hope all you want, but the only way you will know conclusively is to contact the manufacturer directly. |
