Speaker cables from Asia


I see alot of offerings on speaker cables and IC's on Ebay from Asia Etc.Has anyone tried these if so how did you make out. I also have a concern that these might be like a Rolex on the streets in N.Y. look genuine but not so.
Can anyone shed a little light

Where are the original cables from? Not trying to be a smart ass here, but if they are actually made in China, then the knock-off and the genuine item might be from the same factory.
I don't know about the others, but Kimber cables (8TC, 12TC etc) are made in USA.
I m puzzle with the response to this thread from some posters. Is it right to assume so long a product is from China or chinese in origin its a fraud? Do these posters ever dealt with any chinaman from asia before they post remarks like if its from china assume its a knockoff ?
I suppose when we purchase anything on line we have nothing but common sense to guide us to hopefully make a right decision. Off course I will never buy anything that is way below market price.
The world is not better off economically because of some non-asian who created beautiful non tangible and fraudulent products and fed it to the world.
There ur fraud are every where regardless of race, religion, country of origin or sex. Type casting asian is certainly not right.
By the way I m a chinaman from asia, who purchased online stuff from HK, Singapore, Indonesia and mainly USA and UK
Not sure if you're talking about me.... Anyway, me too have bought stuff online from other Asian countries like Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand without any issue. But Hong Kong... I'll just steer clear of it.

Tpreaves mentioned about suspicious Kimber 12TC... If you check eBay # 320416615598, you'll notice the printing on the sleeves are different from the original. The same applies to ebay # 220466314087 and # 220466314057 where the banana plugs (which they like to copy as well) look different too, and the printing on the sleeves looks dirt cheap. They've even included a picture with an original packing box.

Do a search on Oyaide, Audioquest and Kamber (yes, I think they purposely spell it wrongly) products and it's not difficult to observe that almost all the suspicious items come from Hong Kong.
