Krell cast cables - Fakes, knock offs, counterfeit

I bought a pair of cast cables from a audiogoner a several months ago. Does anyone know if there is a way to know if they are fake and inferior? I sent an email to krell but I haven't heard back from them. I just got my system up and running again from 10 months ago (I moved and remodeled).
I seem to remember a little more detail before I changed to the longer cast cables. I bought them from Orpy22, who isn't an active member anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards, John

It probably is the burn in time. I have only 30hrs on the system since I hooked it up again, plus I have new gear to boot. I'll re-evaluate in 3 or 4 months.

Leica man is right! I had an all Krell CAST system and the Krell cable is terrible; don't waste your money. The Transparent is superior. I think there are a couple other brands; I think it is either Tara or Siltech that are awesome too.

It's highly unlikely that there's enough of a demand for the authentic cables given the limited market to warrant energy being taken up in counterfeiting such cables.
