Are these fake?

Seller is in China, looks fake due the price of course... but I know sometimes they can be "fell off the truck" situations. Insight anyone?

Maybe you should read your post again. Bringing CNN and MSNBC into the discussion about what constitutes fake has nothing to do with answering a question about audio equipment. You make your political views very clear in your posts. Taliban? That's just nonsensical and weak. I'm willing to keep my political views out of the forums if you will do the same. Now, teach me something about audio equipment, and I don't mean snake oil. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I have this question on a different thread. In your opinion, would a SimAudio Neo 260D used as a transport with my Lyngdorf TDAI 2200, be an improvement over a Linn Unidisk SC player?

Don’t worry regulations that protect US from companies willing to poison us to make a buck are being chopped left and right (mostly right) to bring down costs so we can compete economically with China.

Between us trying to be more like China and China trying hard to be more like us there will not be much difference anymore at some point maybe pretty soon.

It really bugs me the way people fail to distinguish between the two (at least) very different ways in which the term is used.

1. fake news=the political equivalent of military disinformation; highly exaggerated or totally invented "news" items circulated by politicians to inflame their base and/or smear their opposition and/or deflect attention from what is really going on.

2. fake news=a label that constitutes a derogatory attack on reliable and reputable news outlets that are reporting news that the attacker doesn't like and doesn't want widely disseminated; an attempt to invalidate or at least spread insidious doubt.

The invention and widespread use these days of #2 muddies the waters and creates confusion in identifying the numerous instances of #1.
