How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits


I just stumbled upon this website and they have branded products such as Nordost and Audioquest at about 10% of the normal retail.  How is this even possible and if they are indeed fakes, how come companies like Nordost do not sue them? Truly puzzling.   https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-nordost.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.search.0

There is nothing a company, individual, or fake company can do cable wise that any individual can't do themselves. I do as much of my own audio assembly, room acoustics etc. as possible because I trust me more than them. Way less headache, way more satisfaction.

.......bargain compared to a civet pooped coffee that sells for $600 per pound. Which is one other thing I ain’t gonna be buying. It’s all relative.

Yeah, save your money, I have tried it and it's not worth it. One of those things to do just to say you did it perhaps. Like flying to space for 50 million? I wouldn't buy it again for the same price as the regular coffee I get shipped to my house at $20 a bag.

I had a similar thread a while back; the whole thing boggles my mind too.

A better question is why Chinese websites like this are allowed to be seen in our Continent, and the rest of the world, while China bans multiple websites, social media platforms, and anything else they don't like- such as journalism that tells the truth. 

I suppose we value freedom of speech, and we don't want to stoop as low as them. 

@jmalen123  Totally agree re build your own.  I think my next power cables will be DIY with parts from VH Audio.

I built my speaker cables with their CHeLA wire.  I'd put them up against cables costing 10 times as much.

They may be knockoffs, but they're probably much closer to the actual value of the originals.
