Just buy a set. You won’t hear a difference and you saved huge $.

Then take that saved money and buy a Cayman S.
 

Just buy a Prius. You won’t feel the difference and for the money you saved buy yourself a Louis Vuitton suitcase. 

it is hard to imagine buying a $40,000 pair of cables for $100 and thinking it's the real thing...

Some even asked the question ...😊

Some even buy a 20,000 bucks cable...😋

Some even will hear no differences between the 20,000 bucks cables and the fake...😁

Some smile because even if effectively cables matter they dont matter as much for 20,000 bucks in most limited budget ...

Those who will contradict this will argue that there is a "difference"... They are not even wrong...I myself hear a difference between all my cables...Yes i am not deaf... I tuned my 100 resonators and it was not bad... 😏

My point is any system must be balanced by all parameters implied in a room ...Cables matter way less than the acoustic location and price of my chair ...😎

Give me a 20,000 bucks chair ...

I will use a chinese non counterfeit cables and all will be OK in my marvellous acoustically well located chair ...

If all details matter as claimed by cables sellers , the chair position matter way more among many other as much important acoustic parameter...

Why there is no chair position and comfort threads between two cables thread ?

Because no one sell acoustic chair ... 😉

I have worked in mainland China and across the globe for decades in the manufacturing supply chains. China is full of great people, hundreds that I have known. The vast majority are great people with similar hopes and dreams… with about 700 million trying to get from lower class near poverty to the middle class.

The government of China does not recognize international patent laws and some people take advantage of this. Yes, this is bad, they should and as they develop their own proprietary technology they will eventually want to protect it and get on board. The US is full of people that do much worse than this. It is unfair to generalize from the actions of a few to all.

I read about the fakes and since I had a pair of Nordost Odin 2 interconnects for a while I bought a pair of fakes from AliExpress. No, they do not sound like the real thing or are they constructed of the same materials. I’ll throw them out at some point versus let some one try to pass them off as real.

How did you determine this? Did you actually cut into your expensive original Nordost and the fake one, lay them out side by side to see what the layup is, etc? 😑

How different did they sound sonically? any specifics you can elaborate on?
