How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits

@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.

Is the "Nordost" wire sold in bulk?  The banana plugs and spades sure are.  I have seen some pretty nice rolls of wire available.  So, if this is true, is it infringement?

It is if they are using the Nordost name.

Chances are they are exactly what Nordhost makes but not "authorized" by them. It doesn't matter anyway because the "real" Nordhost cables won't sound any different than these versions. You're mostly paying for the name.
