How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits


I just stumbled upon this website and they have branded products such as Nordost and Audioquest at about 10% of the normal retail.  How is this even possible and if they are indeed fakes, how come companies like Nordost do not sue them? Truly puzzling.   https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-nordost.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.search.0

Just buy a set. You won’t hear a difference and you saved huge $.

Then take that saved money and buy a Cayman S.
 

Just buy a Prius. You won’t feel the difference and for the money you saved buy yourself a Louis Vuitton suitcase. 

Everything that’s brand name sold on aliexpress is chinese fake. That’s everything - not just cables. 

@czarivey I agree and I would love to be able to own the real deal for $50 instead of $40,000 which I’m never gonna spend on a cable. But it isn’t the world we live in.

And by the way I still consider my Heimdall 2, Frey 2 and Tyr 2 cables (real ones) a bargain compared to a civet pooped coffee that sells for $600 per pound. Which is one other thing I ain’t gonna be buying. It’s all relative.
I wonder if aliexpress sells the fake version of the Kopi Luwak. I don’t even want to know who ate and 💩 those coffee beens out.

Chances are they are exactly what Nordhost makes but not "authorized" by them. It doesn't matter anyway because the "real" Nordhost cables won't sound any different than these versions. You're mostly paying for the name.
