I would find it hard to believe that anyone who would know what Nordost or Siltech cables were would believe they were getting genuine cables from China for thirty bucks. I think the world is safe from the clutches of the Chinese cable companies.
Tired of bootleg
I hate to be a goodie two shoes, but I've been seeing postings
for "Nordost" cables from Beijing. I was curious because the price was tempting so I contacted the seller and asked for serial #s. Long story short, no serial #s and a lot of fancy talk about "cut cables, dealer terminated, blah, blah, etc".
I both have Nordost cables AND wish they were a fraction of the price but it just bugs the hell out of me that some schmuck is pushing this junk and afraid someone might buy into it. When buying used, I recommend always asking for the serial #s and calling Nordost to confirm that they are real. This should at least keep the bootlegging down a bit. If I'm ever wealthy, I will gladly pay full retail for their, to my ears, excellent products.
