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

carlsbad21,093 posts @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 .

Fake Kimber KablePosted by Jonathan https://www.jdaudioonline.com.au/ufaqs/fake-kimber-kable/#:~:text=Kimber%20Kable%20is%20NOT%20made,a%20price%20lower%20than%20us.
Yes there are counterfeit Kimber Kables out there. We have encountered several TC series cables in Australia recently (2022-23). One pair was even sold via a legitimate dealer on a well known Australian website offering stereo equipment for sale. The dealer even had the gall to say he’d purchased them from us! A direct lie. There are fakes on sites like eBay, Audiogon and many others. EVERY Kimber on AliExpress is FAKE! Here is how to spot them: Fake offerings online from China of junk wire dressed up to look like Kimber – yes, the photos are of the real thing, they pinched those. e.g. the so-called 8TC cable is just low grade PVC insulated tinned copper wire, far inferior to Kimber’s entry level 8PR – and more expensive than 8PR too!
Kimber Kable is NOT made in China. The Chinese distributor has to purchase the cable from Kimber in the USA, exactly the same we we do, therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE for it to be sold at a price lower than us. So if it looks too good to be true …. its a fake! Watch out for garbage interconnect clones too. Remember, Kimber is not made in China and so how can it be cheaper there than in the USA? Kimber Kable is not sold via online platforms like eBay, audiogon, Stereonet etc so if a brand new Kimber item is offered for sale, its pretty much bound to be fake! If you are unsure, contact us. We’ve been the Australian Kimber Distributors for 40 years and we’ve seen a thing or too. OR EVEN BETTER contact Kimber directly. Kimber Kable in the USA is only to pleased to assist and verify that an item is genuine. Simply email them directly with images or a link via info@kimber.com. You will be impressed with their honesty and commitment to assisting customers.
