Some are, some are not. I bought some PS Audio power cords from HK and if they are fakes they are very good ones as the appear completely identical to the ones I have bought here. I bought some alleged Siltech speaker cable also, I think it is genuine, it appears to be cable bought in bulk and terminated there but it could be counterfeit. I have also seen slightly misspelled versions of famous wire products that I have no doubt were fake. There are HK companies like Sweetcome who produce cables under their own name who have good products. I purchased replacement umbilical cables and power cord for my Musical Fidelity M3 from them and am very happy with results. The PS Audio is made in China anyway and these were the previous generation so I suppose they may have been disposing of them over there to keep from depressing US market. I purchased some here from dealers disposing of their old stock.
