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.

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.

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…

Moderators thought that was a counterfeit audphile1

@akg_ca assemble in the US. parts are sourced from everywhere.

I post my comments on verified specifics only ,. not on unsupported blanket hyperboles,

For example : I had an email conversation with kahuna Josh Meredith at CARDAS AUDIO. ( Josh is the hubby of prez Angela CARDAS).

He confirmed that ALL their materials are specifically sourced in the USA first, and then completely manufactured, distributed , and supported out of their facilities in Oregon. The YouTubes below have more deets about their proud top-shelf “ made in USA” mantra.

In my personal conversation with NORDOST, they informed me that All Nordost cables are hand built at our factory in the USA and sold ONLY through their Authorized Dealer network worldwide. They cautioned to be aware that numerous attempts to counterfeit their products appear online , inter Alia on EBay and Ali Express etc.They can verify OEM provenance on pre-owned sales if requested to weed out the fakes.That’s what I did …. Had them verify onsite in their plant that my NORDOST cables serial #s were legit, that they were indeed sold by an authorized dealer , and were OEM construction too before I sold them .

NORDOST got its start and makes cables for hi-tech, medical and scientific applications ( think NASA space shuttle) - they don’t source or assemble cheap crap from China
