Are these fake cables?
They are absolutely NOT original Accuphase cables. Guarantee you that. Now... "fake" is a bit harsh 😁. I'd call them "replica" 😂
has anyone tried chinese cables?
@lloydc - having been involved in DIY cable construction over the past 10 years, here are some basic things I have found makes a signficant difference
So armed with that inforamtion a person can assess how well ANY cable will perform
Some Companies that use the above techniques include

thanks for the detailed analysis; I agree with it, for the most part. Would add that the construction methods and skill also matter. But, if cable materials and construction were the whole story, there would be far fewer cable deniers. It seems strange that some people who can not hear the differences seek to project their disability onto others. Haven’t we all, at some point, at least compared zip cord to something more exotic? Even for Chinese manufacturers who try to describe their cables, it can be difficult to understand what they are trying to say. I went ahead and bought some Viborg “pure silver” interconnects, which seem to me to be excellent, and a relative bargain (the $350 ones, not their $2100 versions). Also some Viborg power plugs for dyi power cords, which I am convinced are at least as good as the best Furutech or Oyaide, at 1/5 the cost. Some of the top boutique cables use them. MPS makes some outstanding cables too, under their own name.
I am curious about the Audioquest asian copies. I believe they can more or less duplicate the design and construction, but not the wire itself or outstanding construction quality. Could still be a relatively good buy. |
