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

I once did consider getting a pair of Van den Hul Magnum hybrid speaker cable from Ebay since the price was quite cheap. After pondering for some time I ditched the idea as I didn't want to end up disappointed. Most audio stores in Ebay selling cheap stuff are from Hong Kong. As for your question how will these cables sound like compared to the original, I reckon one would take them as authentic cables unless they are compared to the original. Then again, I presume it would be difficult to differentiate original and fakes apart in double-blind test unless you cut the cables open and inspect all the details.
I think most of the 12TC stuff on ebay (sold by the meter) don't claim to be genuine Kimber Kable but rather denotes no brand or generic. What i was wondering though is the basic physics of the cable - if the manufactures in China and elsewhere use oxygen free copper and braid it the same way as Kimber then the end results, re sound quality, should be the same? Have anyone purchased these cables and tested them? if yes, please share your impressions.

The issue of stealing Kimber's patent or intellectual property is another issue and i am not sure if it applies in this case? 
I love my Kharma powercord that I bought from China for $137.   I have no doubt it is genuine.  
Well, either genuine or a really good fake. Have you ever taken a gander at some of the Fake Chinese Casio G Shocks, like the Limited Edition Bathing Ape? Whoa!
