Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily?


Just look at the pictures- are you sure when buying that used cable it is genuine? 

Genuine looking boxes, probably certificates too? Unbelievable. I have heard once a website gets shut down, another one just pops up.

If you are only interested in the two examples give in the OP, then I have no info.  I was speaking of the name brands that have their stuff made in China, most do.  Examples include Kimber Cable, Cardas cable stock, and WBT cable connectors.  There are many others.  

I probably won't respond again to a challenge that sounds like I'm a hostile witness in a lawsuit.

Well my post was removed so your response is now orphaned Jerry. But I do wonder why my post was deleted and the entire thread promoting fake cables on this site is still up and running. Just curious…

@carlsbad2

nope …. Way off sir!
Most of the majors that dominate the industry and suffer the most high-end losses via illegal counterfeit losses from crap build fakes are made in the USA.
Go to their websites,

(1) CARDAS are exclusively made in Oregon

(2) KIMBER follows in like form …they are all made in Utah

(3) NORDOST too are also all made in the USA

 

I’ll add that AQ power cords are made in china. Hurricane included. If we follow your theory the Hurricane on Aliexpress is a “surplus” run produced at the same factory where AQ makes their cables. I’ll also re-ward my censored post…it is the people that manufacture the counterfeit items who are spreading the myth that these items are made at the same factories. This has been going in for years and the story accompanies not only audio cables but sneakers, handbags (think Prada, LV), electrics, phones, etc.
