OP said “they are selling fakes. It is obvious the cable is phony.” Another post he said the cable is “worthless.” I think he is jumping to preconceived conclusions without first getting the facts and disrespecting an Audiogon seller with lots of positive feedback vs OP with no feedback prior to this transaction. He should send the cable to Audioquest to authenticate and if cable turns out to be fake, then he has a case. A couple of years ago, I bought AQ Colorado cables (no box) from a seller on this platform and when I got it and compared to a pair I already owned, they sounded like crap and my first initial reaction was these are fake. I worked with the seller and we agreed to have AQ authenticate and he would refund if indeed they were fake. AQ authenticated as genuine. So, all was good on both parties.
Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake?
I purchased a Diamond Audioquest USB cable here from a seller and I received is nothing like my audioquest diamond cable. The packaging was also different from the one in the listing.
The packaging does not look or match any of my other audioquest packages.
I've highlighted everything in red for comparison.

Anyone want to give their thoughts on the matter?
