@roxy54 Counterfeit Chinese Cables. Gone..... but not forgotten. I'm thinking we should start another thread by the same name, but this time the subject will be "are the people making the cables actually Chinese, or Counterfeit Chinese" Should be good for 20 pages! 🤣
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

@ronkent Before we start yet another thread on this topic, check out this thread that is up to 19 pages of comments and still going. Everything that can be said, has been said. Cheers.

@ronkent And therein lies the $64,000 Dollar Question. It's become a big crap-shoot when buying any used cables these days. The short answer would be just don't. Otherwise Let common sense prevail. Insist on the original invoice for the manufacturer. Lots of detailed photos. Does the seller have a 5 star rating from numerous buyers? In the end, you pay your money and you take your chances. IMHO Cheers. |
@jmalen123 Totally agree re build your own. I think my next power cables will be DIY with parts from VH Audio. https://www.vhaudio.com/neotech-nep-3200.html I built my speaker cables with their CHeLA wire. I'd put them up against cables costing 10 times as much. |
